Not Our Latest Storm

This actually happened on April 6th but Mom never got around to downloading the pictures so she could put them on our blog.  We actually had ice this weekend.  Not nearly as much fun as snow and we just looked wet and sad rather than happy snow dogs, so no pictures of that.

Mom loved that I just sat down like I was having a day at the beach. I was quite comfortable and she eventually had to call me in because she didn't want me out in the cold and damp for too long.

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.

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.

Wordless Wednesday: The Joy of Snowflakes

If you click on the pictures you can see the flakes we were trying to capture and snack on yesterday.

Snow Cookie Delivery

We'd been out of snow cookies for a bit, but last Tuesday our order was delivered overnight and we went out to enjoy our new supply before it disappears again. Well Mom's hoping it disappears again. We think there is still time for more snow cookies before Spring arrives.

Wordy Wednesday: Snow Dancing

Mom was fascinated with how the snow was dancing in the air on Monday of the long weekend. She couldn't quite get the pictures she wanted of the snow dancing in the air never quite wanting to touch the ground, but she did seem to take joy in catching pictures of how it landed on us.

Snow Cooling

A little over a week ago we had a warm up into the high 50's and the snow pile started to melt. While the warmer weather pleased Mom we wanted to cool ourselves in the remaining snow and Mom felt she needed to capture our snow relaxation.

It's Snowing

The Weather people were wrong, we woke to snow cookies falling from the sky this morning.

Baby It's Windy Outside

We are glad the Tuesday rains are gone. However Wednesday brought a cold wind. Mom kept trying to catch Annie's lion look, but didn't quite get the capture she was hoping for as she was doing her morning cleanup. Katy's hair doesn't spread out quite as wide as Annie's does in the wind. Annie's gets a wild look to it.

The rain did desimate our snow pile a bit. While we want more for Christmas Mom reminds us our two Grandmas and one Grandpa have yet to arrive so weather is a factor in them making it safely to see us this Christmas. So we have to find out how to make our request specific, more snow cookies only at times that don't interfer with holiday travel. This is a good deal to expect from a dog but we are working on it. We don't want to miss seeing the grandparents on Christmas.

Dog Dad dropped the last of the Christmas Cards off at the post office for the Blogville Card exchange unless we discover we have people sending us cards we didn't expect. Mom has a few other cards to get done but she's moving along. Wrapping is the next big project. Since Annie has an objection to the sound of tape this is a really interesting project.
