Marley in the snow

I knew Marley was feeling the cold and it was time to go home when he was stopping every 10 feet to bite the snow out from between his toes... and now I have a defrosting dog leaving puddles all over the house!

First snow of the season

We got our first real snow for the season yesterday... and as you can see, its back to blue sky today and a perfect day to be hiking and taking pictures at nearby Chautauqua Park. Marley and I hit the trails first thing this morning... as did a couple of other bundled up photographers and their canine assistants.

Smokey Joe says "he..he...hee!"

Smokey Joe says "he he hee...watch this! What you are about to see has never been attempted by a cat!"

In an unusual turn of events, Marley has (for the small price of covering the cat with splashed milk in the process) relented and now allows Smokey Joe to share his milk and most days, a small portion of his meal too. Not really that unfair, given that every chance he gets, Marley will steal cat food - including that which may have gotten stuck to the cats fur during the course of the meal!
