Jacpot Enjoys the Sun While it Lasts

Jacpot Catches Snowballs

Jacpot waits at Pinecrest Lake for the chance to chase snowballs, no matter how long he looks he can never find them.

Every now and then he finds one in the air.

Jacpot Loves His Morning Walks to the Cold Springs Store

Jacpot continues to patiently wait for Jerry, Cindy, and myslelf to keep up on the hike to the store.


















Jerry and Cindy enjoy the beautiful walk this morning, but Jacpot enjoys it more.

We stop for a picture on the way home.

Jacpot warms up his nose... waiting for his next adventure.

Jacpot and Scruff Getting In The Christmas Spirit

Jacpot Doesn't Understand

We hike miles to the store (Cindy has grocery bag in hand) through 2 feet of snow at times, Jacpot plays and plays the whole way. Upon returning to the cabin we are ready for a nice cup of hot chocolate and read by the fire. Jacpot gives a look of "I don't understand" why would we go back inside when I can bound through this fresh soft snow some more.

Jacpot Thought He Saw Santa Claus...

but then he realized it was just Scruffy after a walk to the store in the snow....

















Cindy decided to get a little artistic with her camera... can you see Jacpot in the picture below?





























Hopefully not, it's just looking up at a bunch of branches, but I thought it was a neat looking picture.

Jacpot Brings His New Buddy To Cold Springs

After arriving in Cold Springs we have gotten well over a foot of snow and Jacpot and buddy Scruffy are having a blast playing in the snow.

Below, Jacpot patiently poses for a picture with Pinecrest Lake in the background eagerly awaiting to get back to playing in the snow.

Jacpot Enjoys The Weather Change

The cooler weather means Jacpot and myself are able to get out on runs in the hills later in the day when we are unable to get in some morning exercise.

Jacpot Meets Molly The Duck Chaser

While Jacpot and I were on our sunrise run in the hills this morning, we ran into two ladies and three dogs we have chatted with before. Jacpot had even chased a bunny with one of the dogs named Molly before. After a moment, it was obvious Jacpot was letting me know he would much rather stay back and play with Molly so I capitulated, and had a nice walk through the hills and back along the aqueduct with our new pack. On our return Molly showed Jacpot some pretty impressive skills running along the water and upon arrival near a duck in the water leaping in the air and just missing the ducks. Molly even put up a good swim after them all the way to the other side. Jacpot was impressed but I think he is going to leave the duck chasing to Molly.







Jacpot, Molly, and Shelly.
