Hanging in the Snow Bank

Annie has been very curious about the snow banks this Spring. Mom thankfully missed the shot of Annie rolling into the bushes and me, Katy, standing there panicked thinking she was eaten by the bush. Mom just laughed and called her and she bounced out like nothing was wrong. The girl is nuts, but she does love hanging out in the snow.

Avoiding Snowmageadon

First we were supposed to get over a foot of snow. Then it was 8-12 inches of snow. By Tuesday we were down to 3-6 inches but starting Wednesday afternoon. When we went to bed, no snow. It was blowing around when we woke up this morning, but not really coming to anything much. Dog Dad and Mom were not displeased. They were able to get out and go to the pool to exercise as the pool has been closed during all the other storms last night.

While the storm tried to get up its energy we didn't get much more than an inch. Perhaps Spring is starting to assert itself.

Monday Mischief: Mining Snow Cookies

Scooping up snow cookies when the snow is fresh is easy. However, as the snow crusts over with melting and refreezing there is more work involved for the same tasty product. Mom loves to capture us at work.

Don't get me started on the distractions of the tourists taking pictures or the competition who messes up my neat sites for snow cookie removal. She can destroy any sight in moments.

Thankful Thursday: Our Snow Race Track

Dog Dad is amazing. No matter how awful the snow storm he always cleans out our race track so we have a place to potty and play. On this thankful Thursday, we are thankful for Dog Dad and our race track. Long after the snow has stopped we have our wonderful track to chase and play and yes do our necessary business outdoors until we it melts enough to venture out on to the frozen tundra.

Wordless Wednesday: Supervising the cleanup

We were supervising and providing security while Dog Dad kept our race track clean during the storm. It took several trips but we were there to make sure the job was done right.

The Melt Before the Storm

We are due for a big storm today. As of Monday the weatherman says we could get another foot of snow cookies. Mom decided it would be interesting to get some pre-storm pictures to see how much melting has occurred since the last storm. We had 16 inches of snow last week, but it's March and despite Mother Natures best efforts Spring is coming. Spring snow keeps falling, but it doesn't have the staying power of winter snow.

We lost power in the last storm so we hope all of you stay safe and dry in this storm. That being said we are enjoying the last snow cookies of the season.

Before and After

Mom caught these pictures during the storm last Thursday and really liked them because it demonstrates two things, one Spring snow really doesn't want to stay and two Evergreens shed snow at the first possible chance they get.

Snow has been melting steadily since the storm, but we have hope as the weather dude says more snow is coming our way this week. We like our snow cookies as long as we can get them.

Monday Mischief: Sheltie Detectives Casebook 1: What Lies Beneath the Snow?

We are on the case as you can see. There is something in the snow. Mom has created the mystery of the missing dog treat. She knows the best way to get us to take her silly pictures is through bribery, but when treats are lost you have no better hope of finding them then with our Sheltie Detective Agency. Well I guess you really don't want us on your case because we are just as likely to eat your treats when we find them as return them. We might have to think about how this detective for hire thing will work out.

Sunday Brought Snow

We had a small snow storm Saturday night into Sunday. Mom insisted in going out to get pictures because the weather is just crazy. We are supposed to have temperatures in the 70's this week. Hard to believe, but Mom is determined to get her snow pictures in this week.

Thankful Thursday: The Snow Playground

The snow got heavier last Wednesday. We love it when the snow cookies fall from the sky. As we mentioned Mom has been getting a bit obsessed with the snow pictures.

Service is Slow

Does your Mom ever wait to dry you until she gets the perfect shot?

The Snow Begins

Mom has become a little bit obsessed with getting snow pictures, so as long as we continue to have snow storms you can expect lots of pictures. This storm happened last Wednesday and Mom was having fun capturing our joy at the new snow.
