Dashing Through the Snow


It's not a lot of dashing, and it's just a little snow, but Zoe still had fun!  Poor Xander is recovering from a paw injury, so he wasn't interested in running about with her.  He started limping last Saturday, and visited the vet on Monday.  Xrays showed that he broke a toe at some point in the past, and it healed back crooked.  Fortunately, no breaks were found now, so we're hoping it's just a sprain, and he'll be playing with Zoe again very soon.

This weekend is holiday crunch time.  There are presents to wrap, cookies to bake, and house guests for which to prepare.  My planned strategy is to keep it low-stress and enjoy the season.  Repeat after me, "Everything does NOT have to be PERFECT!"  We'll see how I do with that.  

Happy Holidays!!





Please join Dogs Rock on The Saturday Pet Blogger Hop, graciously hosted by Life With DogsTwo Little Cavaliers, and Confessions of the Plume.  Happy weekend!!

  19. That is a good philosophy, because it seldom is perfect anyhow.
    Hope Xander is back to running around soon.

  22. K sends Xander her very best wishes. We know all about paw and toe injuries here. I understand from my vet that they're most common in greyhounds and whippets... I hope that Xander heals VERY fast.

    I love your photos. I can just stare at each one for a long time, soaking it up. Thanks for sharing.

  23. Those darn foot injuries. I guess with active dogs, it's always a problem. We're having fun this week, I'll be baking and I know I'll have lots of helpers and taster volunteers.

    Merry Christmas to you and your whole pack.
