Over my time here there have been various 'Post a picture of...' threads. And I've done my best to be in them. I've lost enough of the weight I gained now that I felt comfortable getting a nice photograph for those threads I've missed, but taking that many pictures in one day?


Well, here is my concession.


Kilted in the snow whilst walking dogs, smoking a pipe and doing 'The Hamish.' (At least, as well as one can when two dogs are tangling their leashes aound you and pulling in different directions.)






For those of you not in the know (And since I didn't make an announcement) the Black dog in the picture is Betsy, our new puppy.
After we dogsat for some friends Cody got used to having a buddy at home to play with so after a lot of thinking, discussion and attempts at impulse control we decided to get him a friend.

This is Betsy at 9 weeks old when we got her. She's apparently a Lab/Chesapeake cross but we think she may have something else in her as well.





This is a comparison shot of her at 17 weeks.




She is now 19 weeks and 59 pounds. She is going to be huge. Her paws are the same size as the Bernese mountain dog that we see at the dog park.

Luckily, she knows Cody is higher on the totem pole than her and they really love each other. she's a really sweet dog and smart as well so they get along like a house on fire.
