Cookies Intermission: A Walkie 'Round the Neighborhood...

We were not thrilled with these... they were movin' about in the wind, but the treats were pawesome! Besides... the rain had stopped and Ma and Pa took us to some places in our neighborhood where we'd never been - cool! New smells and peemail to read.


Unbelievable sight considering the major storm system that is gonna be here for a while. Don't know if we'll be able to see that amazing lunar event that's supposed to happen on the 21st, but we're hopin'!


Here's a collage of some of the places Ma and Pa made us pose heheh! That flash is blindin' so we closed our peepers in some of these, like the smart pups we are!

This is a cool place, just up the street from our house. Oskar's mom should dig this - snowman!

Alien eyes in the last of the leaves!

And this is where we go every year to the Halloween party! It takes a lot of treats to lure us away from here!

And this is our doggie nanny, Birgitta, our two-doors-up neighbor, who should be called Ms. Clause! Her house is totally Christmased up to the max! She gave us some goodies... well... she always does! Stay tuned for Part II of Cookies... and we want to thank everybody for the incredible cards we've received from you and thank Jazzi for her amazing Pressie exchange - what a job!

Those giant hot air things are even bigger than the ones in my neighborhood. They kind of freak me out. I am amazed at how close you got to them.

What a great decorated neighborhood. Since we do not exactly have neighbors, there is no where like that to walk here.

Ms. ~K said...

Wow, cool decorations...thanks for taking us along!

That looks like a really cool walk, but I don't know about those big balloony things. Weren't you scared? I think I would be...

KT and Easton said...

Oh boy, Lady would love to go along and meet every human and dog along the way and get cookies and sniff peemail and everything. So much fun. Great pictures of S&A, even with alien eyes! Even though Lady is not phased by anything, I find blow up creatures and the Burger King guy.....creeepy.

Barbara said...

What lovely pictures! You two look so very happy!! Merry Christmas!

Tucker said...

I can't believe you sat that close to those blow up things. I would've waken the neighborhood up barking at them.

Such a beautiful neighborhood. We are so glad the rain let up enough for that walk. Our human brother is so ready to get out of LA with all the rain they have been getting. They will be ocming here this week and are hoping for snow. Sadly none yet and not likely other than maybe some sleet:(

Thanks for the beautiful Christmas card.

Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

How Sam Sees It said...

We need to figure out how to fit your blog to our screen - all the pictures come out half sized. The half we are seeing are adorable though! We love the picture of you sniffing the wind!
