Squaw

Nick and I spent MLK weekend in Reno! We stayed with some friends and were able to do some skiing up at Squaw.
















Are those olympic rings you ask? Why yes they are. Squaw valley was home to the 1960 winter olympics. I tried channeling Picabo, but I don't think it helped.

Here is nick. He's down at my level temporarily. Much easier to breathe at this lower altitude. I also got a cute new hat that matches my jacket. And yes, it was entirely necessary.














If you are wondering about mochi. He was in ski school. It took him the better part of the morning but he picked it up by lunch.

J/K! He spent the weekend at Club K9. Doggie daycare. He played with all sorts of other dogs and told me he had a great time.

Haircut!

Anyone who met Mochi over Christmas noticed his awfully long hair. He really couldn't see. So it was time for him to get groomed. He won't let me get in his face (we're working on it), so I figured I'd let a professional take care of it.

Here he is before:














After (I think it was too short, but hey, hair grows):
















I think it was ust weird because I could see his eyes for the first time in 2 months. We arrived at the groomer and she had put 2 blue ribbons in his hair (um, he's a boy.....you trimmed his balls, you should know).

And here is a funny video of mochi chasing his bowl. (You can stop after he does the cute bowl thing.)
