Snow Day!!

So, it snowed in Memphis yesterday, quite a bit actually. I knew there was a possibility of flurries, but doubted that we would really get much, if any. So, I went to Walmart, as planned. The closest Walmart just so happens to be in Arkansas, across the big bridge over the Mississippi river. Well, it began to snow while I was there and by the time I left my car was completely covered, as well as the roads. It wasn't that bad though, minus the fact that I couldn't read any of the road signs, until I got to the Big Bridge. Traffic came to a halt and I almost spun out when I tried to start again. But don't worry, I made it. My 15 minute drive took 45...most of the way in 2nd gear.

Duncan LOVES the snow though. We played for a while in it yesterday...and when we came in, this is what his paws looked like...

We went down to the river to play in it today but half of it was already melted at this point. The following are some videos of Duncan enjoying it and making snow angel dogs in it.

Well, I guess I should maybe study some now...since I haven't all weekend for some reason...oops.

Duncan's 1st Birthday!!!

Since the title of my blog deals with "my little dog Duncan," I thought I might actually make a post about him. Sunday was Duncan's 1st birthday!!! Animal World USA even threw him a party at Overton Park called Woofstock. Ok, it wasn't a party for him. But it was just convienently held on his birthday. There were a bunch of pet oriented booths set up and live music, as well as pets for adoption. It was pretty fun...and Duncan really enjoyed playing with all the other dogs and getting free treats and such.

Then after the exciting Woofstock we headed over to the pet store to get him a few things. He needed a new frisbee since he enjoys those more than balls. We usually use plastic lids from tupperware but he destroys those pretty quickly. I even bought him a "durable" one at the store about a month ago but he managed to destroy it too. Then we got some big rawhide bones to keep him busy while I'm in school since the small ones don't seem to last very long and I don't want him eating too many of them. And in the process of picking these items out he decides he wants a new stuffed animal too since he is pulling them off the shelf and carrying them around the store. So, all in all I think he had a pretty good birthday. Below are some pictures of him playing with his new toys. Sorry, I didn't get any pictures at Woofstock.

The New Pad

As I promised, I am posting pictures of my new apartment in Memphis. It is fairly clean but not perfect so pardon the mess.

First, the living room...

The view as you walk in the door.

Another similar view but here you can see the vaulted ceiling.

The fireplace, tv, and balcony door

Part of the front door and the pass through to the kitchen

The balcony and my new patio furniture

The dining room

Half of the kitchen

Other half of the kitchen (with the pass through to the living room)

The washing machine in the laundry room. There is a dryer that faces it but I didn't take a picture of it.

My bed in the bedroom

My desk and chest of drawers

The door to my room and my bookcase

And finally my bathroom

Well, that's it for the tour. I hope you enjoyed it. If anyone is ever in Memphis feel free to give me a call and I'll give you a real tour.
