THE RESULTS ARE IN!

We just got Shadow's test results in! I'm pretty excited that her results were split 50/50! On one side Shadow is a Samoyed and on the other she is a German Shepherd Dog. Shadow sure has a lot of shepherd look to her but I  couldn't figure out the white on her, so that explains that and her deep love of snow, not to mention her thick neck fur.

Also Samoyeds are know as the smiley dog, Shadow sure is a smiley dog! I am very pleased with my results and it didn't come back chihuahua!

Asparagus Goat Cheese Bake

Here's an easy little new side dish. The website called it an asparagus goat chees bake, but I think that makes it sound complicated. All you have to do is trim your asparagus, pour 1 tbsp melted butter over top, spread around as much goat cheese as you like, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, (I didn't use a lot because I don't like them,) pour another 1 tbsp butter over the toop and roast for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. The only thing I didn't like was that the topping kept sliding off the stalks. I am thinking it would be better to chop up the asparagus. Try it out, let me know.

Dogs love Snow!

Dogs love snow, especially Shadow. I suspect there will be some husky when her DNA test comes in. The snow would be really nice if it wasn't windy. The wind makes our walks a little tough on the cheeks! The temperature is only 28 instead of 12 so it was somewhat enjoyable. After our walk I let the pups roam the backyard.
I love the snow flying action. Shadow loves to roll in the snow, I'm going to post a video of that soon.

Bandit thinks its fun to chase my boots moving under the snow and she loves to eat the cold snow. Maybe Bandit will make a bowl of Snow Cream.

 And Hef? Hef says "I'm flopped out in my cage, don't come any closer, I'm not going outside!" I think I'll snug up with Hef inside for a while. Stay warm everybody!

Remember Spring?

We do! And we want it back! Friday it was 52 degrees and now its back to 16 degrees! ARGH! I was teased!

Doggie DNA Test!

Isn't science something? Has anybody heard about these? They sell a kit now for mix breed dogs to find out what breeds are dominant in their gene pool. I am dying to know what kind of dog Shadow is! I found the test on Ebay for a great price. I decided it would be fun to test Bandit as well. She is very clearly a German Shepherd Dog, but it will be neat to have proof of that. I was just notified that Shadow's sample was recieved by the company. I took a picture of the whole kit they send. It included two swabs to collect cheek cells. Shadow didn't mind getting swabbed, but Bandit thought it was fun to avoid getting swabbed. Then we mailed them back. In a few weeks they will send me a report telling me what our favorite pups backgrounds are!

Any guess on some breeds for Shadow?

Lazy Sunday

Sundays are pretty lazy around here. We tend to stay home, read the paper, and relax. So here are some old photos of Hef that are pretty cute.

"Yes, I recommed the spring mix. I also recommend getting your own."



"NOM!"

I like watching Hef eat his salad, he makes these little nibbly noises. Crunch crunch!
