furry friends

Harrison was checking out the rats this morning. We let him see Sandy when she was out of her cage. Sassy preferred to stay huddled up in the hammock when Harrison was around.
We are sure this (above) is a friendly kiss, and not a taste.

Checking each other out when Sandy was back in her cage. She comes right up and sniffs him, and he tries to kiss her through the cage.

Cooper with Sandy

This is a picture of Sassy that Kestrel took yesterday with her own camera. We love her ears!

more snow

We got some more snow today. Kestrel was out of school anyway for parent/teacher conferences. She and Cooper played out in the snow for a while this afternoon. Harrison played with them for a little bit, but he got a little too excited out there.

a lesson

Kestrel is working with Cooper on reading. She does such a great job with him, and he's so proud and happy with himself.

riding/growing

Here's a picture of Kestrel riding yesterday at our lesson. She's riding Kitty. Riding lessons have been cancelled a lot recently due to cold, but we had one yesterday. I was a little under the weather so I didn't ride, but I still went and groomed a horse (Diamond).
I found this picture of Harrison that I took the day after we got him. 8 weeks old. He's so cute!
I took the next two pictures today. He turned 4 months old last Wednesday. He's now weighing in at 60 pounds, and eating up to 8 cups of food a day. He was 20 pounds when we brought him home. That's a lot of growing. A lot more to come...
Harrison is so clean and fluffy today! Paul gave him a bath yesterday after he decided to dig and splash around in a mud puddle in our backyard (oh yeah, spring is going to be fun). Actually, he got back in the puddle today, but I was able to drag him inside before he got much more than paws and lower legs muddy. I figured it was safe to let him out today because I thought the mud puddle would be frozen over, but I was wrong. Oh well, he gives the best puppy kisses which makes up for it all. If anyone knows a quick and easy way to de-mudify a dog (or even better, keep him out of the mud), I'm all ears.

i think puppies like snow





It was hard to get him to stay still for a picture.
We had quite a bit of snow last night. The kids are home from school today. Harrison is enjoying romping through the snow.
