12 Days of Cheer! Hunting for the Perfect Tree

Part of my yearly Holiday tradition is to go shopping for the perfect Christmas tree. Only this years tree hunt was a little extra special.

I headed out to my favorite tree shopping spot, the TriColor Tree Farm and much to my surprise it had started to snow! Now if a little winter blizzard during Christmas Tree shopping doesn’t spell Christmas than I don’t know what does.

Of course before the tree hunt could begin I had to make sure the tree field was groundhog free. I just can’t help myself!

Once I cleared the field of pesky groundhogs, I wasted no time in picking out the perfect little petite tree.

Before we cut it down we had to take the obligatory “pose with the tree for posting on Facebook later” photos. It’s absolutely necessary in the Holiday Tree Hunt.

Once that was over with, it was time to cut that suckka down!

After the nice people at TriColor Tree Farm helped me wrap up my tree I was ready to bring it home for some decorating fun!

Weekend Snow

On Saturday we got our first snowfall of 2012 in Pennsylvania.

I love the snow, but sometimes I’d just much rather stay in bed.

The wind can sting your eyes, and….

…when the snow freezes it can be quite difficult for little paws to trek around in.

But, duty calls and I gotta dig deep and just keep going…..

…because there are certain ponies that don’t take “snow days”…..

….and become quite angry when they don’t get their morning hay.

I don’t complain much about leaving my warm bed on snow days though….

….because after all, someone has to make sure all the necessary “scents” are still in their designated place after a blanketing of new fallen snow.

 

Snow Day

I have more to tell you about my exciting Christmas, but I thought I’d interrupt for a little snow day! Santa must have known how much I love the snow, because he ordered up a snowstorm for the day after Christmas! Yipee!

What made it even better was that I got to share my snow day with the ponies at the farm.

Here’s a picture of me on the way to the farm. If you can’t tell I’m uber excited!

I got to help with all kinds of chores around the farm, like bringing hay out to the ponies.

And I got to have a little fun too. Nothing like a good romp in the snow!

Ah, it was a great day to be a dog!
