Zephyr's 4th Birthday


The Sweetest Face!!!
Zephyr had his 4th Birthday on January 6.  It's hard to believe he is four, most of the time it seems like he's still a puppy.  He had a fun day.  We went for a long walk in the afternoon and after dinner we all had some pumpkin pie.  Yum!  


Right before the New Year we had a good snow storm so Zephyr and Astro have had a lot of fun playing in the snow.  I never get tired of watching them play.


They never seem to get tired of playing in the snow either.  One of the funnest things I like to do is to run downhill in deep snow, kind of like glissading, you can jump really far and the landing is so soft.  So, I can understand why they think it's a blast too.


I usually don't make them wear their jackets because they stay plenty warm running around.  But we had a few days of high temperatures in the teens and low twenties, cold for us. 
Laughing Hyena's?
I just want to know what these two are saying to each other?  


Astro Catches Some Air!

On the day our high temperature reached a balmy 15 degrees I took the boys out for a walk around the neighborhood.  I had them wear their booties, which combined with all the snow made them extra skippy.  Wee!

Happy Little Mountaineer!

Happy Big 4 Year Old Mountaineer!

Happy Birthday, Zephyr! Bunny just turned four in November and I'm so happy with what a sweetheart she's become. There was quite a bit of sighing as the girls admired the boys working out in their gear! Does Astro have a pack of his own yet?

Your pictures are just wonderful! They both look so happy! I sure wish Ferguson liked playing in the snow :( He wants nothing more than to get back inside asap!

No pack for Astro yet, but I get him one soon. He's worn Zephyr's a few times though. Zephyr has really matured in the last year too. He's actually a lot calmer and I think even more affectionate. I think having Astro has made him so happy. Not that he wasn't happy before, but I think it helped him feel more confident and "centered", if that possible for a dog.

Too bad the boys and girls can't go on a hiking double date. Zephyr says he would love to help Bunny train for her race.

Happy Birthday Zephyr--what fabulous pictures! The Mango minster people's choice votes are not posted yet, thank you so much for asking--and don't worry, you don't REALLY need to vote, it is just a silly on line contest and we don't really take it too serious! hehehe

Happy Birthday Zephyr. You're just a bit younger than Beryl. She's never experienced snow and probably never will:) But it sure looks like you guys had the best time. I love the coats and boots. Stunning.
