Is he Alive??

Sam will be 16 years old in May!
He is going deaf and sometimes doesn't seem to know what is going on.
And he sleeps like a rock!
It freaks me out when he sleeps super soundly.

 

Totally Random

Kaleb lost his hat and found it the next morning frozen in the ice under his truck.
I had to wait for it to warm up a little and stomped on the ice to pull the hat out. 
Victoria finding Doug's sweet spot!


Kaleb and I went out walking at 11 pm. Look how bright it is? 
Kaleb is always up for adventures no matter what time of day or night. 



 

More Snow!

MORE SNOW!!






 

Ambulance to ER

Okay Victoria, YOU WIN!! 
If you are trying to win some contest or something, you win!
Doug jumped the fence to chase deer. The snow level being so high, makes the fence very low. So it's easy for Doug to jump. But Victoria didn't think he was coming back soooooo she jumped the fence to chase him but started having bad chest pain. She has had chest pain for the past couple months but this time it was really bad. She managed to get Doug back but could barely make it home. Kirk and I were on our way to lunch with Kathy and Troy and got stuck in a traffic jam due to an accident on Main st. When Daphne called telling us what happened and in talking with Victoria who couldn't breath or talk, we called 911 to see who could make it home to her first.
It was a good thing I was driving. We beat the ambulance by just a couple minutes. They gave her three rounds of albuterol for severe wheezing and transported her to the ER.
It took three hours for her heart rate to drop. Now for a new diagnosis....she has C-Diff from being on antibiotics for so long. SO now shes on a new antibiotic.
It's pretty bad when the CT Scan people and the ER nurses recognize you.
Jared told Victoria she needs a Frequent Flyer Card for the ER.

 

Tons of Snow in February

If I hear anyone crying that we are in a drought....I will slap them silly!
Have a Seat
Merk spent about 30 minutes digging in the snow playing with snowballs and ice.

4-H Rugrats

Kirk usually comes with us to Dog 4-H every week to help. It's about the only time he gets out to be social with the other parents after working all day in the basement for work. There is one family with 5 kids that we absolutely love. They are horse kids which mean they don't care if they get dirty. The oldest, Wyatt is 9 and then he has two little sisters that are in the program too. 
As you can see they are helping Kirk carry the crates!
These kids don't do this to anyone else but Kirk. It is so funny!
We came home to the destroyed puzzle that Thunder messed up. Darn Cat! It was almost DONE!!

 

Snowshoeing with Doug

Doug is a pretty good companion to go snowshoeing with until he catches a whiff of a deer or something and could easily drag me up the side of the hill! BUT....I had a hunk of turkey in my pocket so I could always grab his attention with the thought of getting a little piece of that turkey!
On the way in on the trail, he sniffed everything....literally....stepped off the trail and sunk up to his belly where he proceeded to drag his belly along the cold snow. The St. Bernard in him loves the snow.
