Snow Puppies!!!!

Cute Puppy Goodness!
I was working and playing in Mt. Rose up in Tahoe this past April and there was still snow. Melting slushy snow, but snow none the less. I was so happy to be up there. I thought January was the last time I would see snow this season. My heart was seeking an adventure, and the universe provided.

While wondering around Mt. Rose field waiting for the rest of the crew I saw these two adorable lab puppies running in the snow. My heart stopped at the site of them and I like a magnet, I was pulled towards their fluffy soft goodness to steal a hug, a few licks (from them to me, not me to them, just to clarify), and of course some puppy portraits.

Meet Dojo and Omi and their lucky owners.
I have dog envy ;)

I love these ears!

Winter Road Trippin to Montana

Going though the archives.... I was reminded of my road trip from Los Angeles to Stevensville, Montana to spend the holiday in the snow with my Godmother Yana.
There was almost gun play at the Rustic Inn. Lots of large animals...unfortunately, dead, stuffed and in plastic form. We drove through part of Zion, dwarfed by giant red mountains. There was a snow storm in Idaho which we almost drove off a cliff but Super Yana saved the day with her superior driving skills. Laura, Yana's cousin had a near death experience and then kept on truckin. Note: Hiking in the snow can be dangerous. I was almost proposed to by a hunky, tattooed, shirtless drunk accompanied by his equally drunk toothless Uncle (we stumbled upon them on their fourth day of drinking at the Rainbow Bar). We ate good food, baked a couple pies, relaxed, laughed alot....alot! We spent quality time with REAL people and our girl Shirley kept us laughing on the road. What more could a girl ask for Christmas?
