Snow and Christmas

Trying to get an update online finally. These are a few pictures of the girls in the snow right before Christmas and at Christmas.
















DH got a Nano Bug for Christmas. Molly is sure it is a dog toy.



The girls will do anything for MARSHMALLOWS!

Frisbee in the Snow

There is not much other than snow going on these days. But one evening last week, we got the girls out into the pony pasture for a round of frisbee while the ponies were in the shed eating.

Those three were from one catch. Pretty typical of casts when both girls get to run. Shawnee gets there first, but Molly does the retrieve!

Digging in the Snow

We had to dig the pony fence free from the snow before the drifts settled and destroyed the fence completely. The girls were quite a help--more than we expected. Molly was much more productive and focussed than Shawnee, but both helped.

Note: Pics are taken with the cell phone. With all four of us digging, it wasn't reasonable to have the camera with.

The Girls in the Snow

Please forgive the insane lack of updates lately. Bex has been down with a concussion since before Christmas and still isn't right.

Description limited because of writer's health. Suffice it to say, we have too much snow. No picture of it, but Molly has been helping water the ponies. I put on her seat belt harness because it is comfortable for pulling and tie her to one of the smaller water jugs. She drags it out to the ponies' trough so I only have to pour it in. She sometimes needs help getting it moving again after a pause, but she is VERY good and loves the job. Shawnee helped once, but has an injury on some of her pads, so is off duty right now.

Windows Conquered---Pictures Update

It's taken me a few days, but I'm finally getting control over Windows. The biggest problem I've had is that software that came with it insists on replacing the existing picture every time you make changes. I still can't find anything that I think works as well as digiKam in Linux. But I did get GIMP installed so I can finally edit pictures in a comfortable and familiar way. And the Windows picture downloader seems to be the best method a for me for downloading the pictures from the camera.

So here are a few pictures from when the girls played in the snow with their daddy last week. What they are playing with is our new frisbee by West Paw. Despite the fact that they seem to think it's a chew toy, there is no sign of damage on it. We really love these West paw toys.










The girls really love the frisbee. Both have learned to pick up even from the floor inside. However Shawnee is still working on returning completely. So a lot of times Molly had to go help.
