Joe knows weather...

Since Tanner insisted on posting pics where his blubber kept him nice and warm, I thought I would show you the really GOOD things about the weekend up north.




When we found out we were going I was very excited.




When we got there the fire got started and I was joyous!




Tanner was happy with his stupid corn too.

But then the sun went down...and it got COLD...like LESS THAN 30 DEGREES cold!!




Thank dog for down comforters! My gram knows I need them to survive this extreme weather.




Even little lardbutt had to have a sweatshirt. And that is a sweatshirt MY SOPHIE got me and I even let him wear it. I am SO nice.

During the day it was kinda warm, so I could go on guard duty...




Gramps makes a perfect perch. It was his birthday this weekend so I didn't even fart on him.




As it got warmer I was so generous I even let Tanner rest his foot on me.

But then it got to be night again...




And I began to worry I would freeze to death...




Tanner just wanted to be pet and to watch the Eagles DVD.




Dad assured me I would NOT freeze, we had a big fire and lots of down comforters.




So I survived, but BARELY!

Ah Joe, we are so glad your Gram has lots of comforters. Teka says hoomans give off warmth, and so you should just velcro to a warm hooman, get under the comforters and enjoy it.

Joey,
I sleep on a heating pad sometimes when it's cold. Perhaps, you should invest in one.

That picture of you in front of the fire is priceless. I also love that first picture and that picture of you letting Tanner rest his foot on you and all those other pictures too.

Well its a good thing you live in a hot part of the country. Imagine if you lived up north where it snows lots. Looks like you had a good time and we're glad you didnt freeze to death.

You should consider moving to our neck of the woods ... cold doesn't exist here!

Great funny pictures by the way. We had a good giggle.

We love comforters too when it gets that cool. We live in the south, so to us 50 degrees is pretty cold BOL! Glad to see you survived the frigid north!
Peace out,

Thank dog for comforters at the grandparents. You know how much we love the cold, Joey - but we understand it isn't for all pups. But Joey, what was going on with you in that pic in front of the fire? Do tell.

Joey, what you need is a summer wardrobe (your storm jacket) and then a winter wardrobe. Which would have ski pants, boots, ski jacket, long underwear, mittens,handwarmers to wear inside your mittens, mad bomber hat, a long scarf to wrap around your neck and head,and oh yea, maybe a pint container of good brandy. So when you go someplace warm just take your storm jacket in case of bad weather, but when you go cold, get your luggage out and fill it up with the warming gear. Sometimes when its real cold you can't walk with all your gear on but other times its OK. Hope this helps, Joe.

Kisses,
Stella

You look so happy warming your butt by the fire. We need to get a butt warmer installed in our house.
