Some unseasonably warm weather in January and February fooled me into thinking Dog Gone Cold might not be so dog gone cold this year.  However, dog gone it, twas not to be.  Froze my  fingers and toes off and eventually had to go sit in the truck with the heater on.  But not before I took some really cool (cold) pictures.  Hope you enjoy them!​

THANK YOU HOPEFUL HOUNDS 
FOR ANOTHER EXCITING

If you missed the Lovepup Family Fest, you missed out on a great event for families, dogs, and dog rescue shelters.  At times, the whole affair looked more like a county fair than anything else with plenty of activities for the kids, lots to look at for the grown-ups, and many great dogs
available for the serious canine shopper.  Many dogs found their forever homes.  Lovepup hopes to sponser this event on a yearly basis so don't miss out next year!
