I like them from scratch, but I don’t mind a good lab or poodle mix now and then.

My mom used to cook from scratch all the time too, but one thing she never quite managed was a Yorkie-er, I mean, Yorkshire pudding.

Er, what were we talking about again?

If your puppy is cold there’s something seriously wrong.

Coincidentally, ODALW4AP was the license plate on the car that ran over my puppy.

My puppies are frequently cold. We had to get Ginger a [sweater](http://s862.photobucket.com/albums/ab183/spike1380/Doggies/?action=view&current=DSCN4174.jpg#!oZZ9QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs862.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fab183%2Fspike1380%2FDoggies%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3DDSCN4070.jpg%26) because she was shivering and now everyone keeps making fun of us for making her wear it. When we make a fire, she [sits in front of it](http://s862.photobucket.com/albums/ab183/spike1380/Doggies/?action=view&current=DSCN4145.jpg) or she [sits on the hearth](http://s862.photobucket.com/albums/ab183/spike1380/Doggies/?action=view&current=DSCN4174.jpg). If there’s no fire, she’ll stand in front of the fireplace and stare at us pointedly until we make her one. Holly is bulkier so she doesn’t have the same issue but she got really cold one day this week and she insisted on[lying on my stomach with a blanket over us](http://s862.photobucket.com/albums/ab183/spike1380/Doggies/?action=view&current=DSCN4174.jpg#!oZZ16QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs862.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fab183%2Fspike1380%2FDoggies%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3DDSCN4124.jpg%26).

We’re about half done reglazing the storm windows. The really bad draft should go away when we put them up and hopefully my poor puppies wont be as cold all the time. They’ll be a year old next week. My babies aren’t babies any more. ☹
