Hurley Relaxing

Here’s a couple of pix of Hurley lounging around. I would love to do some of that this weekend.

White Christmas

Merry Christmas from Eric, LeAnn, and Hurley!

After getting some rain and melting yesterday, we were surprised to wake up and see more snow. It doesn’t look like we will get out to see the opening of Marley and Me, but having Hurley around is the next best thing. This is a much wetter snow then the past week, so we were finally able to build a snowman. However, nothing lasts long with Hurley around. He managed to devour our snowman within minutes of its completion.

More Snow

Hopefully this will be the last post I write that uses the phrase “most snow I have ever seen in Seattle”. It snowed pretty much the whole day yesterday and well into the night. We awoke this morning to the winter scene pictured in this gallery.

Buried in Snow

After Wednesday’s snow-no-show, we have been hit by several snowfalls so we started winter vacation three days early. After last night’s snowstorm, we are pretty much snowed in. This is one of the heaviest snow falls I have ever seen in Seattle, with snow drifts piling up against the house. We were also surprised this morning that the snow had a solid top layer of ice.

Here are some pictures from the last several days, including more of Hurley frolicking in the now dog-knee-deep snow. It is snowing again as I write this. Looks like it will be a White Christmas.

Hurley’s Snow Day

Eric — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 19:18:07 +0000

We stayed home from work today because Seattle Schools declared a snow day. No snow has actually fallen in Seattle today (as of 11am), but they must have been acting on predictions on there would be a heavy snowfall. Luckily, we have our dog to create snow for us, albeit indoors. We drove to our favorite pet store and bought him some new stuffed toys, one of which he has torn open within minutes, spilling stuffing all over the living room.

We did actually get some snow this past weekend, which caused 2-hour late arrivals on Monday and Tuesday, so we did actually get to play with Hurley in the snow.

I CAN HAS CHEEZ WRAPPER?

Last night while grilling some garden burgers, I didn’t notice that a wrapper to a slice of processed cheese had blown off the table. It didn’t take long for our new puppy, Hurley, to find it. While chasing him around the yard to get it back, I couldn’t help but think about the lolcats and their ongoing quest for cheezburgers.

New Puppy!

We went to the King County Adopt-A-Thon today and came home with an new puppy. He is a mix of a Labrador Retriever and something else that the rescue kennel was not sure about. We haven’t settled on a name yet, but so far we like Hurley, Wilson, Caesar, Gordy, or Indy. If you have an opinion or another idea, please leave us a comment.
