I remember ice like that back when I used to ice fish a lot. Had one of my best days when I had to walk through water at the edge of the lake and clamber up onto the remaining ice. I've gotten a tad smarter since. (In some ways.) <BR/><BR/>Jeannette, I'd love to claim some noble blood but I sure as heck don't know of any. My people come from Ukraine, though there's some hint they arrived there from Scotland. So, if anything, I'm more of a grumpy Cossack than a noble. :)Frank Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766219281485749395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-13908152956722487762009-03-10T05:08:00.000-04:002009-03-10T05:08:00.000-04:00All nice shots, especially the one (birds eye/side...All nice shots, especially the one (birds eye/side view) of your dog - I wandered over from Hilary's blog. <BR/>I have a curiosity about names.

I'm toying with the idea of T-shirts.... ;)<BR/><BR/>Barbara, Lucy has taken a couple of shots when Ben ventured too close. So far, his lightning-like reflexes have kept him un-scarred. I have a hunch it's only a matter of time though.<BR/><BR/>EFS, your pup had long hair, right? Ben's is fairly short and quite coarse. It seems to resist freezing - thank goodness - because otherwise I'd have to buy him one of those wimpy doggie sweaters. ;)<BR/><BR/>(Some of you who receive copies of comments via email will note that Hilary first posted the above.

He was a shih-tzu named Alex and he loved the snow. One time when taking him for a walk he decided he wanted to just romp around in the stuff for awhile. However when he came in he had snowballs stuck to the fur on his belly! I don't know if it was ice that got frozen there or what but it was funny. Course I didn't find it funny later that day when I stepped a wet spot in stocking feet from where he had been laying and the ice/snow had melted off of him.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what my three cats would think of the snow...Melodi might like it but the other two, probably not.<BR/><BR/>I love the photo of Benny loooking at Lucy, it's so cute!Eternally Free Spirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897481265651705749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-42312605583311324642009-03-05T02:47:00.000-05:002009-03-05T02:47:00.000-05:00Benny needs to take care with Lucy or he'll have a...Benny needs to take care with Lucy or he'll have a chunk taken out of his nose.

I love the look on Benito's face while looking at Lucy. And his goofy face defying you to open the door to let him in, only to turn around and ignore you when you do. I know that look! And I can never resist those long late-day shadows. Or the birds. All beauties, every one of them. Makes me wish I was right there. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-46985831387925452122009-03-03T19:00:00.000-05:002009-03-03T19:00:00.000-05:00Benny is such a great dog, spunky, adventurous!
