Camera Critters #49

I love taking pictures of Trooper in the snow because his black fur shows up so well against the white snow.

Trooper was in a shady spot so I used the flash for this photo...

Unfortunately our snow is no longer white and pristine. The brown, fuzzy thing under Trooper's mouth is his teddy bear toy.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Click here to see more Camera Critters!

Camera Critters #45

In addition to being Valentine's Day, February 14th is also Trooper's 1st birthday. This is Trooper's actual Humane Society photo. Look at how small he was!

Here's our little guy on the day we brought him home.

Not everyone was thrilled about the new addition to our family. Lol!

Trooper is a wonderful hiking companion...

And he always keeps us laughing!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Camera Critters #39

As we begin a new year I thought it would be fun to show you how much Trooper has grown over the past few months. I took this picture on the day we brought him home when he was only twelve weeks old.


Here's Trooper at ten months old.



It's hard to believe that he was ever this small!



Now he weighs 60 lbs. and he's still growing!



Trooper was four months old in this picture.



My big handsome boy...

Camera Critters #37

Oh boy, oh boy, OH BOY! We got lots of cold white stuff this week and I sure LOVE playing in it!


I found my blue dinosaur toy... now where did I leave my chew bone?

Yoo Hoo! Mr. Squirrel! I can see you up there in the tree...

Hey! Pffffft! No fair! Stop dropping the white stuff on me!

Awwww Mom... Do I have to come inside now?

Trooper (and the rest of our family) would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

What a difference a day makes...

If you compare this photo to the first photo in my previous post you can see that's it's basically the same view. The main difference is that today we had plenty of sunshine and blue skies all day long!

We live on a cul-de-sac which means the snow plow driver pushes all of the snow to our end of the street. We now have a mini Mt. Everest in front of our house. I took this picture of Jim with the snowblower to illustrate how tall these mountains of snow are... Jim is 6' tall and he's dwarfed by the snow.

I thought this icicle was pretty hanging off of a tree branch...

After I shoveled off our deck I replenished all of the bird and squirrel feeders. This squirrel was getting very impatient with me. He was chattering at me LOUDLY and slapping the branch with his front feet. It was almost as if he was saying "put down that camera and give me something to eat!"

Trooper absolutely LOVES playing in the snow. He spent nearly the entire afternoon romping through the fresh powder.

The kitty preferred to observe the snow from inside of the house where it was nice and warm. I think she had the right idea!

Be careful what you wish for...

There has been a lot of grumbling here in Big Bear lately about the lack of snow this season. Now after nearly three straight days of heavy snowfall everyone is saying enough already! Of course the fresh snow is great for our local ski resorts... I'm sure the skiers and snowboarders will be up here in droves this weekend.

I spotted this little guy during a break in the weather today. If you click on the picture you can see a little speck of snow on the tip of his nose.

Not to be outdone, Trooper also has a blob of snow on his nose!


I don't usually decorate very much for the holidays but I saw this wreath at Costco and I couldn't resist buying it. We're keeping our fingers crossed for nice weather tomorrow. After three days of gloomy skies it will be wonderful to see the sun again!

Camera Critters #33

Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, Trooper decided to make a list of all of the things that he was thankful for. Trooper is thankful that his human mom and dad adopted him from the Rancho Coastal Humane Society and gave him a forever home in the mountains. Here's a picture of Trooper on the day we adopted him... yup, it was pretty much love at first sight!


Trooper is also thankful for his big "brother" Ollie. Ollie is 13 years old so he's more of a grandpa figure to Trooper. Ollie watches over Trooper and does his best to keep him out of mischief.


Wilbur is Trooper's best buddy. They love to play together as often as they can.


Einstein (Wilbur's new little brother) loves to torment play with Trooper too.


Bob and Blackie are Trooper's online friends. Trooper says, "my mom and Bob and Blackie's mom have been friends since dinosaurs roamed the earth!" You can click here to visit Bob and Blackie's blog.

Last but certainly not least, Trooper is thankful for all of the new friends he's made on Camera Critters! We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
