Snow Days 2008

Hello there to all of you adoring fans! This is Stitch of the Disney Dogs. Both my brother and sister have had the chance to write on our blog, so I figure that it is my turn now. Well it has been one heck of a week around this neck of the woods. It has been the coldest and worst weather we have had in a while. It has been snowing, raining, icing, sleeting, and freezing rain the past week. Mostly it has just been cold. As you can see, I have been trying to handle it the best that I can!! It is a tough life but somebody has to do it.
This is what the scene at Grandma and Grandpa's looks like this morning. It started snowing yesterday and it just kept coming and coming and coming. Then over night it turned it to something called freezing rain and left ice on top of the snow. All I know is that it means it is COLD!

Because Mom still has to go to work despite the bad weather, we have been staying at our grandparents house. They live really close to mom's work and that way she can get there even if the roads are bad. We have been camping out in the living room, and Grandpa and Grandma have been taking care of us when she is gone.

This morning mom woke up to her car looking like this! It was totally encased in ice! And mom says that the ice was at least 1/2 inch thick! I guess that is a lot, I don't really know what an inch is. Mom had to really pull hard to get the door open. Then she started the car and let it run for a while. Even after that she still had to take a soft rubber mallet to break the ice up and get it off the windows. Must have been a lot of work because mom was tired, and frozen!


My little sister Lilo went outside in it. She wasn't too sure what to think at first. It looks like white ground and feels like it is going to hold you, but then suddenly you break through the ice and fall 8 inches into the snow. It is really really cold outside!

This is what Lilo's footprints look like in the snow/ice ground. It is weird to crunch right through the ice and then sink belly high.

My little brother Tiki and my Uncle Trouble don't seem bothered by the snow at all. They played for a long time, chasing the frisbee and running around the yard. They even helped mom and Grandpa break all the ice off the cars. They don't even seem to notice the cold and snow at all. Oh well I guess at least one of us dogs are enjoying ourselves.

So that is our current report from the frigid NorthWest. I will continue to stay wrapped up in blanket and stay warm. I think that we will be staying here until after Christmas. Mom doesn't really want to go to work at all, but she has to at least try. So that means we are staying with our Grandparents. We are happy to be here with them, but they seem a little tired of us sitting on our laps. I don't understand why, I mean it is their job to adore me right? Anyway, here's wishing you all a safe and happy MERRY CHRISTMAS from Stitch, Lilo, and Tiki. Oh yeah, and from our Mom also!

So I have been hearing from several people that I need to update my blog. I guess more people check my blog than I thought. I guess they will be saddened to know that I really don't lead a very exciting life! That would be why my posts are far between. I doubt that you would all want to hear about me getting up in the morning, playing with the dogs, going to the gym, playing with the dogs some more, going to work, coming home, playing with the dogs and then going to bed. I mean hearing about that type of stuff could be rather boring.

But I do have several pictures from Thanksgiving. The day started out the annual Turkey Bowl. It was very COLD, but we had a good time seeing several friends and families from our old family ward. I also got to hang with my Uncle Mark and family. Even Jake and Jana made it from Utah!! We had a great time in the morning.

After that we were back at Mom and Dad's for Thanksgiving Dinner. We had a good time with Aunt Karen, Uncle John, Lindsey, Dan, Katelyn, Jeff, Morgan, Doug, Angie and Madi. We had a very enjoyable dinner and a great time talking with everybody. It is a little hard to believe that we are all growing up and starting famlies of our own! It is funny to watch the next generation play. Madi was sweet with Katelyn. She would be very gentle and give her a kiss, and since she was so nice we would all say "aww, verygood, yeahh" and etc and clap at the same time. So then Madi would keep kissing Katelyn and then start clapping! It was quite funny.

Little Stitch happy at last!

So that was our Thanksgiving weekend. I did also make it to the Civil War game down in Corvallis, but we won't really go into that! It was a very sad and a long drive home. Darn it I wish would have won, but our defense seemed to have other plans. Oh well, I guess there is always next year!

Well I hope this apeases the masses! Or at least Sarah and Misty! If my life gets a little more interesting I will be sure to post it!
