Play Date with a New Friend

My neighbor friend just brought home a cute little terrier mix named Roxie to join her family a couple days ago... Sandy come over a visit to meet this new little one!

 It wasn't play at first sight, but after an hour or so, we did finally get some play, though both were kind of spazzy about it... short bursts of play and then ignore each other, then play stance, ignore it , repeat repeat...

 I put Roxie's new coat on Sandy to see if that would help! not really, it was just adorable!  Sandy doens't mind clothes a bit....

 A few more "dates" and I'm sure they will have their "play style" figure out...Roxie is new in her family too, so she's still settling.   When they got going, it was really cute and active, very busy... Sandy's tail got to "helicoptering", it wags, but rather than just back and forth, it also starts going in big circles. They both enjoyed themselves as their nerves settled. 

Snow Play!

Sandy is from California... she's used to a warmer climate and while she's had no problems going outside to potty in our colder weather... Going outside for a play was a different matter...

 If I hide behind the owl, maybe I can't get away from this snow!

My paws are cold, I have snow on my head... NO FUN!

 COME SAVE ME!!!

 Hold me, love me, warm my paws!  Get me out of here!

 So, she's not a fan of the snow as of today, but I hear there is more snow to come, so we will see if we can change her mind!

SleepyTime

How Sandy tried to resist the sleep... But it was too warm and cozy for her!

My favorite picture... Mostly ears!

I'm not sleepy! Just warming my nose!

wide awake!

my neck is tired... i'm just resting it...

YAWWWWN

that wasn't a yawn, just cleaning my nose

i just going to rest my neck so more...

zzzzzzzzz

Loving the Tail Chaser!

When Sandy first arrived, she didn't like the tail chaser at all... she was worried about the movement, didn't want anything at all to do with it though she would chew on the toy if it was just laying there.... Now over a month later, she is fiend for the tail chaser... Tonight, she was jumping up on the wall where it was hung trying to get to it... PLAYTIME!!!!

 I love this picture on the left for her shadow, girl can jump! 

Look at Sasha taking a stealth sniff while Sandy is busy chewing on the tail chaser... Sneaky Dog!  Sandy didn't mind (or notice) she was in the tail chaser zone!

Superbowl Sunday at the dog park

Superbowl Sunday consisted of a visit to an empty dog park... Sandy and my Sasha both enjoyed having the park (and all the smells) to themselves...

 

 Sandy got some good energy out, running hard and having a good time.  video -->Sandy running around and vidoe --> Sandy in "Slo-Mo"

 We came home shortly after the Superbowl started and the dogs the were exhausted and napped during the whole game!

Yeah SEAHAWKS!

Chillaxin!

Sandy got babysat during the day by my new neighbor and friend... She spent the day relaxing, playing with her kids, staying warm in her neck snood and checking out the cat occasionally to see if maybe she would play (awww..cat said no, no no!)
