Playing in the Snow

 Tweet 

Back home, playing in the snow meant bundling up; leashing up the dogs; tromping down four flights of stairs; and navigating slick, SALTED sidewalks (unless it was a blizzardy and then we could walk in the street) until we found a good spot to play. If we got to the dog run in time, we could play off leash. If the dog run snow was already “played out” we’d have to find another spot and that usually meant playing with leashes on.

NOT TODAY! 😛

My city dog Snickers, his sister Secret (who actually started off in the country before we adopted her) and our foster boy Murphy got their first real snow here today. We went out a few times to play. A FEW TIMES. Because, really, all I have to do is pull on some clothes and open the door and we’re out there with 1 1/2 acres of fresh snow to play in. Wheeeeee!

    Whee! is right!! Looks like fun fun fun… As much as Snickers liked the city, I wonder if he’ll miss the country more when he goes back.

    OH! What fun! Jenna, Snickers and Secret, you all seem to be enjoying that soft white stuff that blankets your yard. Someone surly likes dipping their head int he snow and coming up with a white face…

    I’m especially glad we got outside to enjoy this snow this day because it’s been WAAAAY too frigid to be outside since then. They did have a lot of fun.

    Whee is right! They do look as though they are having great fun.

    Some of the photos would make good Japanese woodprints. Noble Shiba surveys the snow, study in running Shiba…etc.

    Wonderful pics. They clearly are LOVING it.

    Life has its advantages in BFE. At times. 😉
