A Quiet Weekend

Mom and Don went to the boat show this weekend, so they asked Derrick and me to stay at their house with the dogs. I like going out there because it's like a nice little get away from my real world. They have a large house with a park-like yard for their three labs to run and play in. Derrick and I both like being out there with the dogs, so Derrick, Jade and I spent the weekend out there.

We got some snow last night.
I love it when it snows. And of all the places to be, mom's house is the best. There are no cars driving by to mess up the beautiful white scenery, just some dogs running around enjoying the soft, white powder. It's really rather peaceful and soothing.


Jade had fun playing with the big dogs. She's learning to be a proper dog from them. It's so cute to see her following the other dogs around, trying to be one of their pack. She even has to be fed at the same time as them, even though we normally just let her eat at her own time and pace.

Of course there is a downside to having Jade out at mom's house. When she's at my house, I watch her constantly because my house is not yet puppy-proof and I don't want her chewin
g on things she shouldn't be chewing on. The same goes for Derrick at his house. But since mom already has three dogs (one of which was once a puppy herself), we forget to watch Jade at all times. So she chews on stuff. Like power cords. Like...MINE! Oh, crap!

Now I need a new one....
