 But getting to the point of this post…hehe…

Riley The City Dog {visiting from Seattle} is enjoying getting to know snow.

Here he watches from inside.

 He was pampered at Petco yesterday…

 All dressed up for Christmas, right Riley?

{for you doggie buffs…..he’s a French Bulldog…originally named Oreo for obvious reasons…but then name was changed to Riley…

he didn’t want a cutesie name when he was all grown-up and oh-so-sophisticated }

 He can’t quite believe it’s up to his shoulders…

DSC_6602.jpg

 but he’s totally into it!

He annoys Roman at times… after all he is only 9 months and Roman is 9 years…

DSC_6657.jpg

 but his playful nature and joie de vivre have totally won us country folk over!

Roman gets a kick out of watching him run through the snow.
