Soup Spoons

While eating some minestrone soup, Dexter asked for another spoon. Ben resisted telling him that he already had a spoon but I knew Dex had something in mind so we got him an additional spoon.

Sure enough, Dex used the two spoons to get at just the broth - he would scoop up one spoonful and then use the other spoon to knock the bits off the first spoon leaving only the broth.

Birthday Boy

Happy birthday to My Bologna who turned 10(ish) on New Year's Day this year. Because he started life as a stray, we have no idea when his real birthday is. The vet thought he was probably a little less than one year old when we got him so we're going with 10 years old.

He is the best dog ever and we love him so much. He really enjoyed the birthday beaver we got him.

Snow Scraping

Rather than help Daddy with shoveling, this time Dex decided to do some snow scraping with his sled.

Turns out it was more like snow spreading...

Snow Angel

I asked Dexy if he knew how to make a snow angel (assuming that he didn't since neither Ben nor I had introduced him to the concept) and he promptly got down on his back and started moving his arms and legs back and forth in the snow! 

 He needed some help getting back up - Daddy comes through!

When I asked how he knew what that was and how to do it, he explained that he had seen it on a commercial (how embarassing that our son learned about this from TV).

New Year's Snowy Walk

We got a dusting of snow on Christmas but we got a more significant amount on New Year's Day. Ben took My Bologna and Dexy for a snowy walk/sled ride.
