Last Saturday afternoon it started snowing and it snowed all afternoon and well into the night.
You may remember poor little Beauregard did NOT want to go out in the snow without his jacket. š
I don’t care what you offer me, I ain’t goin.
Sunday morning when we got up we realized we’d had between 8 to 10 inches.Ā The dogs didn’t care, they still wanted their walk so I threw on my snow pants and headed out.
Hubby was already outside blowing snow.
Good thing, because the car got stuck in all that deep, wet, snow that the plow deposits at the end of the driveway.
Yeah, that’s the snow blower from the driver’s window.
The dogs couldn’t wait to race through the snow, but I was slightly intimidated by the sight that met my eyes.
That’s a lot of snow to plod through.
While we weren’t the first ones to explore the fresh snow, the going was still tough.Ā I’d forgotten how hard it is walking through deep snow.
It took me twice as long to do one loop as it usually takes me to do two.Ā I was sweating pretty good when I was done, but the dogs were loving it.
Oh I love the snow!!
Come on in mom, the water’s snow is fine.
This is fun, can we do this again?
Thankfully many feet have been walking the trails this past week and the going is much easier.
Heart Like a Dog Lesson: Take time to do something fun, like play in the snow.
Are you a trailblazer? Or are you like me and prefer to have someone else do the work? š
We love the fresh snow, no matter how deep we are out in it with mom walking. Now that my sister is older she has a harder time with it but I love hopping through the stuff and we are all worn out afterwards!
I love blazing trails, but I also like being able to sit down and rest when the going gets tough! lol
That’s a LOT of snow!! Yikes! Mom and I are not trailblazers, but we like playing in the snow. I don’t really like the snow touching my belly, but I wear my coat so I don’t shiver too much and not too much snow touches my tummy. I think Sampson and Delilah had some icicles hanging off their faces. I’m pretty sure I’d be afraid of icicles on my face.
Love and licks,

I love walking through the snow! I can’t wait for Gracie and Henri to experience it, unfortunately I don’t think it will be this year š
I wish we had a beautiful place to walk like you do. I would prefer someone else do the trail blazing work though!
OH MY DOG!!! Callie, Shadow, and I are SO jealous!! We all love playing in the snow, though we do get a little cold after a while. Unfortunately, it doesn’t snow much here in the South Carolina Upstate…we usually get freezing rain instead. BOO- HISS!! I really hope we get at least one snowfall this winter so I can capture Ducky’s first experience with it while she’s still technically a puppy. (The shelter estimated she was 3 months old when they got her on May 13th, so they gave her February 13th, 2012 as her birthdate.)
I’d love to be a trailblazer in the snow, but we don’t get even 1 little flake!! It’s so not fair, you all look to have so much fun – sigh!! š
Wags to all
Your pal Snoopy š
That looks like so much fun! Cali is very jealous š
Oh, I laugh just imagining Silas in the snow. When we lived up north (pre-Silas) I always wanted to be the first people out. Other people walking meant more packed down icy patches, which meant too-slippery trails.
Yeah….I kind of prefer to have somebody else do the work! They do look so thrilled, though, don’t they? š
I hear you on this one! the first time Leroy and I walked through the woods after a blizzard I was wheezing by the time I got home!
We love the snow! We wear our boots and play play play!
Wow that snow is amazing! I don’t think I have ever experienced snow that deep! Your very lucky
Now see we would avoid that deep wet snow. It is tough on elbows and CCL’s. We don’t need more vet bills. š But boy it sure looks like fun!
Whoa! Now, that’s some snow! Jeffie and Rudy are jealous (and Rosie doesn’t know what the white stuff is … yet)
Gwynn loves the deep snow – bounds through it like a hare and pauses to eat, dipping his face in and coming out with a David Suzuki beard of white š
