So mom and I are tired of waiting on daddy to fix the rest of the snow pics. So my snow entry will be in 2 parts. Here are some of the pics from the latest snow storm we received. We still have so much snow you can't even seen the grass.

Update on Miss Molly, mom goes around singing Good Golly Miss Molly for some reason, it is kind of funny. Molly is doing great here. I am teaching her how to play with me, she played tug of war with me today and we were playing jump on and off the couch together. She is starting to become fun. Molly was put up on Petfinder yesterday so hopefully she will find a great new home of her very own soon. She really is a sweet girl. Mom wishes she knew someone looking for a dog, because Molly is perfect so far.
I received two Valentines cards this year. I received my second card from beautiful Mona Isn't it a cute card? Thanks Mona and her mommy...I just love getting mail!
Sorry we have been MIA the past few days. Life has been a bit crazy around here. We volunteered to help a doggy in need. Her owner was unable to keep her anymore due to allergies and the rescue we volunteer for was full and needed an available foster home. So off we went to pick up Miss Molly! Isn't she cute?
She is a 25 pounds mix of some sort. She is very quite, VERY love able and the perfect house guest. She appears to be house trained, she is crate trained, getting along okay with my dogs considering she hasn't been around dogs before. Sagira wants to play with her SO bad but Molly isn't sure yet. She is the perfect dog for someone looking for a rescue.
Lets hope we can find Molly a great new home to call her own.
Starr here! Mom signed Sagira and I up for Secret Valentine's on her Weimaraner forum. My present arrived and mom let me open it. Wanna see what I got? Sagira is still waiting on hers to arrive...so mom made me share with her. Darn little sisters...
See, I got mail
He sent me a toy! Oh boy...
Something else in here smells awful good
I better carry this over to my dog bed to check it out
Oh boy...yummy treats!
Mom made me share with Sagira, Harley and Samick though
Sagira ended up stealing MY toy that Oliver bought ME! No fair...I am just going to have to steal hers once hers arrives.
Mommy was so excited when she checked her email today. The professional photos that we ordered from the trial last weekend are here already. Well, not the real things, but JPG files (whatever that means?). But I wanted to share them with you. Mom said I have to thank Virgil at PAW PRINTS LIFE for taking such great photos of me.
This one is mom's favorite. This is when I was going through my last tunnel and earned my first ever agility title.
This is me doing my weave poles with daddy of course
Isn't this fun dad?
Jump!
Meredith said I look like I am flying in this picture. She is funny.
So we have some good and bad news for you...lets start with the good.
Sagira had her second agility trial this past weekend. Her first day she had 3 runs, a standard run, jumpers run and tunnelers run. The first one was her standard run, this course was a bit tricky for a novice dog. They start out by having the dog walk and tunnel right next to each other and they were supposed to take the dog walk, but Sagira went in the tunnel instead. So she didn't get a qualifying (Q) run for that one, but that was okay. Her second run of the day was her jumpers run. She did AWESOME on this run and was perfect. She got her Q and also a first place ribbon! Her last run of the day was her tunnelers run. She did perfect on this run as well and earned her Q and another first place ribbon. She was exhausted after being there all day, we all were. So we headed home, got a good nights sleep and were back at it again early Sunday morning. Sagira had the same 3 runs (different courses though) on Sunday. She didn't Q in her standard or jumpers runs. BUT...she did get her Q in the most important run of the trial. If she ran perfect in her tunnelers run she would earn her very first agility title. We knew she was tired, but asked her to give it 100% and bring home a title for Valentine's day. I must say our baby girl did awesome on her last run. Not only did she get her Q, she earned her very first agility title, TN-N with NADAC and got first place. We couldn't be more proud of our baby girl.
Here is the video of her last run of the day which she earned her title, so you can all share in the excitement with us:
Now on to the bad news. Yesterday we were out paying our car insurance payment and on the way to pick up my car from the shop. It was really bad here, snowing very heavy, my husband was driving. We were going very slow, must have hit a pothole, the car came out of the hole and just started to turn left. There was a van coming the opposite direction and he ran right into my passenger door where I was at. Luckily, nobody was injured, but it sure did make us realize that in a split second your life could change. Our car is now at the collision center. We are very close to paying it off, so they will hopefully not total it out. We are just waiting to hear back. I am just glad that Starr and Sagira were not with us. They were with us earlier in the day but we dropped them off back at home before we finished the stuff we had to do.
So I didn't think I would get to blog again, but this morning I realized how much my mommy loves me. She took the day off of work so I wouldn't have to go in my crate today and I could relax before my big trial this weekend. Now isn't that love? We have been lounging around the house and playing fun games today. Yep...she loves me.
Thought I would share a few videos that I am behind on. These were from my last Games class. The first video is us doing a doggy wave. We all had to sit then when it was time to do "The Wave" we had to lay and then get back up. Look for the number 9 on the back wall and that is where daddy and I were in the wave.
After that we played a game where we had to guess the word on the card and then do 2 activities after that. Daddy sucks at this game. Our word was "Alpo". It took his group forever to guess our word. Mommy got tired of recording and cut it off, but thought you might still get a kick out of the others. We are on the left hand side.
Momma heard about a great sale going on in one of her forums. These nice coats were on sale for $9.99 each. Mom ordered us matching coats. Mom said they are made very nice and defiantly worth the money spent on them. They even came in a carry bag.
Here is my sister Starr in her coat. Mom was excited something actually covered her bootie. She said Starr is a big girl and stuff is usually too small on her.
Here is my coat. Mom is selling my coat to her friend though because it is too big for me. Mom just ordered me a smaller size so hopefully that will fit me better.
Starr and I
Mom is also very anxious. She said we might not be blogging again until Sunday. She keeps telling me I have my second agility trial this weekend. Whatever that means. But I know dad is stressing out and mom is anxious to see how I do. She should know I am going to kick butt though! So wish me luck and lots of Q's.
