The chances of getting more then 3 inches of snow are 1.7 % where I live. The chances of all of the boys grown and enjoying each others company filling the halls and rooms of my house with laughter and love about the same.
Geoff arrived Monday afternoon by plane from California, Joe arrived by Bus last night from Chicago and Dan will arrive this evening from Cleveland with his dad and the accumulating snow will be here Christmas Evening. So with beds to ready and rooms to prepare, I think of the fun and laughter and love that will be my memories for the next year or two until this can happen again. It will be a wonderful exhausting week, filled with stories, snowball games, sled rides and snow dogs.
You know its going to be a special Christmas when the dogs run out to make dog angels in the fresh snow. While the boys toss baseball in short sleeves.
My life as a mom of two Labradors, a basset hound, a dachsund/basset mix,a newfoundland, a teacup Pekignese, and a wonderful 15 year old son. This is how I survive by laughing, loving and doing laundry. These are my rescues/family and this is my story.

Politics and Fido
...a Latin name meaning "I am faithful." As such it is a terrific name for the average protective and loyal family dog. However, it gets its popularity from a celebrity tie-in. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln, a largely self-educated but very erudite man, named his dog Fido. Americans followed suit in droves, putting the dog name Fido firmly in the top 20 names. Lincoln’s choice of Fido for his dog’s name was perfectly logical. Fido is the Latin for faithful, which when dealing with any pet dog is entirely appropriate
