http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...42/cozypal.JPGFritz this morning having a cozy snooze.Last night,started off in the window,was growling and barking at something outside,nothing was there,so I picked him up and put him on Mom's bed.Then between 2:30 and three he got out of bed,Mom followed,wasn't chasing him so left him and he ended jumping up on my bed at 5 to 3 and had a good sleep,I had a hard time getting back to sleep,but did eventually.I think we got 5 or 6 inches of snow,My Uncle helped out in blowing with the snowblower.As we were doing it,it was raining,36 degrees.Cleaned off the catch basins water could get it in.Gloves got soaked so Mom gave me a pair that was a Christmas present,also some warm thermal socks.Get the rest tomorrow.Go to Marlene's ,open gifts then go back later for supper.Go to church tonight for a Christmas Pageant,the Reverend's 3 month old Granddaughter,Cailyn Brooke will play the Baby Jesus.At 11 this evening is the Candlelight service if I can stay awake for it.

Fritz, what a PERFECT picture to start off 2009! Happy and healthy New Year to you, Barry, Mom and your family.
Barry, I was watching the Blackhawks' game this afternoon at Wrigley Field and wishing I had you to explain to me what was going on! It was very strange to see them playing hockey on the infield! They even had a ceremonial first puck like they do a first pitch at Cubs games. It was windy but no snow today, so a good day for outdoor hockey this year.
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...nappyfritz.JPG http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...newtoyplay.JPGFritz snoozing on my leg this morning and then having a play with his new monkey stuffy after being outside and laying on the patio,was full of fresh air.Thursday afternoon Fritz,was on my lap down here in my chair,head resting on the arm of the chair while we were watching the NHL game from Wrigley Field.Had Lasagna,Coleslaw and Garlic Sticks for supper,Fritz had a little,Mince Meat Pie for dessert,had some of that too.Spent with both of us down here last night,and was under the couch,had a bone and begged for water.Went to the window before bed and then was with me,he was kicking at me this morning with his back paws.Had cereal and toast,had a play with his talking monkey.Had some Onion treats for lunch,had a batter on them and had some spices in them,something like Blooming Onions you get at the Outback Restaurant.Mom has decided now every New Year's Eve we will go to Boston Pizza and then to a movie ,there is always something playing that we both like.
WOW!!!! It's freezing there!! It's pretty warm here. I feel bad sayng that.
You are adorable Fritzie!! Glad you're getting some naps in. Keep warm and cozy. I can imagine Marley and Me will hit all of us hard. We can all relate. I would have to take a couple of boxes of tissues. Barry, I'm so glad you and Mom had a good time. I think that's a great tradition to do every year. Stay inside and keep the coats on!!:)
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/.../cozynwarm.JPG http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...warmncozy1.JPGFritz underneath a throw blanket on Mom's bed this morning,lifted the cover to get this and a little later on my bed ,his head on a pair of jogging pants,I went out to shovel a dusting of snow and this is what he was doing.I then put a sweater there and he put his head on that .he stayed on the back of the most of the time last night staring at Mom,goes to the window after going out before bed then with Mom he was under that blanket this morning.I think he is still on my bed.
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...dogcomfort.JPG http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/.../toastydog.JPGFritz comfy on Mom's lap last night and begging for my toast this morning.He also spent time staring at Mom from the back of my chair,begged for bones and to go out,though I think sometimes he wants up to go to the window.Fritz first came to me and was on the bedspread,then went and jumped on Mom's bed,then got off and jumped on mine,he wandered around the bed,couldn't get comfy so he either slept on the bedspread or the carpet ,would have been warmer in.Right now,he is in the window, he was snoozing on Mom's bed while we were at church.Chance of patchy freezing rain late this afternoon into tonight,so not sure about going to the hockey game,only a 40% chance but that's enough for Mom and she won't go,so will play it by ear.
Awwww, Fritz! Comfortable and cozy in many different places in your house!
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...neesnoozer.JPGFritz this morning,snoozing on my knee.Had freezing rain her last night so didn't go to the game,Mom didn't want to go and take me,our patio and driveway were slippery with it today s put some salt on it.Fritz begged for his water and treats,sat on the back of the chair staring at Mom,one time he went out and came back,went to Mom and was on her lap then after a bit,under the couch.He decided to sleep with me,right up tight most of the time.this morning,he was begging to have my cereal and toast,didn't want Mom's until he had mine.I think he is either in the window or in one of the chairs.Mom has a funeral to go today,lady at church passed away,she was 90,Taffy is coming here later,there is a visitation in Burlington,Ontario for Larry's Aunt Marg who passed away on Saturday,she was 80,she had different bouts with cancer,funeral is tomorrow,Mom may go with them and Taffy would be here again.
You're always so cozy, buddy!! You have a very good life there. There's always someone to cuddle up to. We would love to cuddle with you. It sounds like it's still cold there so stay warm. Be good to Taffy and play with her.:)
Great pics, Barry!!

I always smile to see you sitting up, cutie. What a good boy and great host to Taffy. You and Taffy be good and try to be the best dogs in town. You both look adorable. Stay warm. :)
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...2/snoozer1.JPG http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...2/snoozer2.JPGFritz on Mom's bed late Tuesday morning and this morning on the couch.Fritz behave himself yesterday,Taffy didn't she peed on the floor,I found that out by stepping in it,didn't get any of the Quiche we had for supper,Fritz had some,but was still hungry later,had a few of his Iams bones and some water.He slept with Mom after coming to my bedroom first.Got 4 inches of snow overnight,power flickered on and off a few times between 3:30 and 20 to 4 this morning,Fritz heard it ,didn't leave the bed.He had his toast and cereal and been out twice in the snow,was out when my Uncle was over to snow blow the snow.
I really feel for you people, Barry. I don't know how you endure all the snow and cold weather. Every time I hear about it, it makes me thankful I live in Florida. We had some rain this morning and a cold front came through. I think it's going to the forties tonight. That's cold for us. It's been really warm for about a week.
Fritz, I'm glad you're behaving yourself. Taffy probably feels a little lonesome for her family so she p'd in the floor. I'm sure you'll set a good example and she'll be a good girl today. You look so cute in your snoozing photos.:D
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...appyfritz1.JPGFritz snoozing this morning on Mom's bed shortly before he got up.Last night ,he did his usual begging for Iams bones treats and go outside.Had a snooze under the couch and was on the back of the chair staring at Mom.When Mom said it was time to go up ,he did and got out and waited ,then came up with us,went to the window first,then slept with Mom.He is in the window now.Had another inch of snow last night,nothing really today,sun is shining,only 23 degrees,Saturday at least 2 maybe more inches of snow,getting kind of tired of it all ,our little flowerbed on the patio is filled ,no where for it to go but on the patio in a pile next to the shed.Today it has been 7 years that we have had a computer in the house,glad of it,have met a lot of nice people on all the dog forums I have been on.
There's our cute boy!!! Smoochies to you Fritzie!!! Stay warm and cozy!! Computers are great for sure!!:)
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/...appyfritzy.JPGFritz this morning in the window.He went to bed with Mom but jumped up on my bed at 12:30 this morning.Everything was fine until 5 when he started rooting around the bed,finally at 5:30 I was going to pick him up to take him out,he took off to the living,got him some meat then got him out.He came in and had a drink of water.He got in the window then jumped with me in the chair,then cuddled in beside ,I then went and got dressed,I had just got breakfast,he needed out again after having a drink.After he came in ,he went back to bed,probably with Mom,after getting me up early,he can get back to sleep,I can't.Right now is most likely in Mom's bedroom on the bed,she went to the hairdressers.Cold here this morning 9 degrees,chance of a little snow tomorrow,maybe a inch.
