Oh No! More Snow!

Ok, so it's 10 days into Spring.  We had a few warm days and then today it happened at 3PM in the afternoon, 3 inches of heavy wet snow that stuck to all the trees:

But Zoe thinks it's fun to blaze a trail to find a place to do her business...scooping snow on top of her nose and making a snowy mustache.

We can not wait until we are tip toeing through tulips instead...and get ready 'cause we're going to dig out that skateboard as soon as the snow melts!

Road Trip to Cincinnati

It has just been such a busy couple of weeks with dental and doctor appointments for myself...not Zoe.  She's tolerated me not feeling well and finally getting my life back to normal and getting to go out for our usual evening walk in the rain or snow.

Welcome Spring!

We decided to take a trip to Cincinnati, OH to see my husband's favorite guitar player in concert and then the next day I convinced him to take me to see the Newport, KY Aquarium.  While Zoe stayed with her friends back home for the weekend.

There was a 5K run the morning of the Aquarium visit and ALL the roads leading to parking for the Aquarium were closed.  So, we had to make our way around the city numerous times down one way streets to find a place to park fairly close to our destination as it was pouring rain.  We did get to see the World Peace Bell, which is pretty cool.  The bell is just sitting under a plexiglass covering and isn't marked so you don't have a clue why it's there.

While making our way through the neighborhood we found this establishment and as you all know I just had to hang out of the car window and take a picture.     

Zoe had a great weekend with her doggie friends back home and I picked her up later in the evening.  She loves riding in the car, and usually lays down in the seat when we're on short trips; otherwise she's in the back of the van in her crate.

Zoe's obedience class starts up again next week so we'll be working on getting prepared...stay tuned.

Ultimate Couch Potatoes

Zoe and I have just been couch potatoes over the past two weeks.  The weather here has been bad from 6" of snow on the ground, then 2" of pouring rain and then 8 more inches of snow on top of that.  I've had a root canal last week, on top of having a terrible cold and if that wasn't enough my cold turned into a bronchial infection with a 102.8 degree fever.  So, I drove to the doctor's office in a blinding snow storm just to get a bottle of mega-antibiotics to combat my illness.   

Zoe has been such a good girl sleeping with me in bed and keeping me warm.  She was supposed to be going to her new obedience class, but with me being so ill we haven't trained at all.  The instructor sent me the homework; but I couldn't even think about practicing...so we've nixed the class altogether and will be starting it all over again at the end of March.

Zoe decided it would just be best to hang out at home, watch movies on Starz and sleep on and off for 3 days straight until her Mom was finally feeling better to go out for a short walk.
