At some point…

breakfast in this house

became an occasion

to feed THREE mouths.

As you can see, Goose has developed quite an appetite for blueberry waffles.

Well, at least it’s startingto feel like Christmas

I know that you Montrealers will snicker with derision at this post but, dang, it’s cold here! There’s been snow and stuff.

It’s almost 11 am and, despite what the forecast says, it’s not warming up. See?

(Two Celsius is equal to 35 Fahrenheit, if you prefer)

The trouble is, I don’t really have good clothes for the boys in these temperatures. We have some warm coats up in Tahoe but here, we’re stuck layering fleece upon fleece until I’ve got a matching pair of little Bibendums (aka Michelin man). It’s not ideal.

The other problem is that, since it’s so chilly and since we’re so badly dressed, we can’t spend any length of time outside. Result: Goose is REALLY getting the short end of the stick. He’s not getting out and it’s driving him nuts.

Yesterday, he decided that he would walk on the coffee table (TWICE!) to see if I was paying attention. Sigh.

His adoring fans

Javier is always working like crazy so, sadly, he’s not home a lot when the boys are awake. Weekends are the rare exception.

As you can see from this video taken over Thanksgiving weekend in Tahoe, Daddy is in HIGH DEMAND! Between Goose, Sebastian and Nicholas vying for his attention, there’s hardly any of him left for the rest of us.

Can you guess which boy is hiding under which hood? It’s a tough one, I know!

This is what they were watching:

One of the more unusual features of the Tibetan Terrier is the broad, flat feet with hair between the toes. They are ideal for climbing mountains and act as natural snow shoes.
