Snow Dogs

We awoke Monday morning to our first measurable snowfall of the year and it was definitely dreary outside – and cold, and windy. So that I could get a few photos, I waited for daylight to go fetch the newspapers. I wrapped my bright blue and red Mexican blanket around my bathrobe, grabbed the camera, called the dogs, and headed out.

Several years ago we went to Blackwater Falls State Park in West Virginia and received 14" of snow while there. That was Sweetie Pie’s first snow exposure and she loved it, spending lots of time with her face buried while she rooted along. Check the LINK for shots of the trip.

Today was Coco’s first snow event and I think she liked it as well or better and she did the same thing with her nose and had the snowy beard to prove it – shame it wasn’t a little deeper.

They began a game of tag and I just had to stand out in the cold so I could watch them - it was really cute. They would take turns chasing each other, then roll around in the snow – one of Sweetie’s favorite things to do. Here she is between rounds.

Here’s part of their playground.

When I came back in, Bev whipped up this omelet using some extra sausage mix from the quiche she made the other day and topped with Tex-Mex stuff. It was just the meal to ward off this cold weather.

And how does a serious blogger spend the morning in front of the fire.  Coco just has to lay on my chest, but as a hunt-and-peck guy, trying to type around a moving dog head is a big challenge.
