We went out for one last romp in the deep stuff last week before the melting began. It was the middle of a weekday, rather cold and windy, so we went to Alimagnet Dog Park hoping it would be pretty empty. Our guess was right, as there were a couple dogs there, but they left shortly after we arrived. It was our own private dog park for a good half hour, and we had lots of fun.
Mom takes off our leashes and lets us go, but we always go off the same direction and together to discover what is going on at the park. We enjoy walking together, there is safety in numbers in case we encounter any unfriendly dogs. The trails around the perimeter were nicely packed down, but stray off the path, and you were in the deep stuff!
Bailie, the family air scenting hound, stopped to take in the pleasant breeze. Her nose was searching for the smell of squirrels, but she was not able to get any.
We were walking around the park perimeter, enjoying ourselves when Mom decided to do a reversal in direction. She called us, but only I came running. Can you see my determination? Sometimes she plays these tricks on us to make sure we are keeping an eye on her at all times.
A romp in the deep stuff wouldn’t be complete with out some silliness in the form of wrestling.
For some reason, Bailie was off on her own a lot, but I stuck pretty close to my mom. I don’t want to lose her, unless, of course, a critter came by that I needed to chase. Walking along, enjoying the day makes me real happy, can you tell?
After a while, we got off the main trail and decided to cross the frozen pond. Guess what? That snow was super deep. Look! Even Miss Bailie was up to her belly in the snow! Someone, please call us a tow truck!
Oh, never mind. I’m small, but I am a powerhouse! I’ll just propel myself out of the deep stuff. Bailie can follow in my paw tracks.
Boy, we sure had a good time going for a romp in the deep stuff. It is a good thing we took the time to do that, because this week we have disgusting, cold, pouring rain! We could still get more snow, you never know, but the really good snow is now destroyed. A quick fun fact to end our snow post: The only month that has never had snow in Minnesota is July. The latest snow was June 4, 1038, and the earliest was August 31, 1949.
Because we are super thankful for all the fun snow this winter, we are joining Brian’s Home Blog in the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop! Visit some other blogs to see what they are thankful for.
That’s sure a lot of snow but it’s obvious you two were having a blast! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
We really enjoyed our weeks of being buried in snow, and it is sad to see it all going now.
wow you even had snow once in june and august… imagine the people who came for a summer howliday with shirts and shorts and who flip-flopped through da snow….;O)))
They were in for a real surprise!
Fabulous! What an awesome adventure for you girls. The deep stuff was mighty deep! We are impressed with your hopping skills. Great post Madison!! have a good day. Your friend Lilly
Thanks, Lilly. Hope you and your brother have a ton of fun in the snow when you get some, even if it isn’t until next winter.
Such blissful, unabandoned fun! I just love pictures of Bailie with wild hair, and you in motion. My mom said something about 1949 being a good year – I think it has something to do with her birth. XOXO, Sparkle
Hmmm, I wonder if it snowed on her birthday that year? We are sad about our snow being a sloppy mess now, but maybe we will still get more. It is early in the spring season.
Well…it may have! She was born in Akron and at 10 mos moved to Buffalo.
I think in Buffalo they always have snow!
Be careful. I always think that we will get one more snowstorm at the end of March or the beginning of April You may get lucky
We would be thrilled to get another snowstorm or two. This melting and rain is not fun at all.
What a great day. You guys look like you had a blast.
It was a lot of fun, and even better that we had the place to ourselves almost the whole time.
Look at all of that beautiful snow! You girls were sure having the bestest time playing in it!
It was perfect snow, but now it is just a big wet mess.
What a wonderful time you both had!! We can’t even imagine snow like that….it would be over all our heads!!
xoxo,
Rosy Jakey & Arty(whose Momager deleted all the words in our post today…we made her fix it up this morning, and all the words are back)
We were thinking it was a bit different with no words. I actually did get stuck in a snow pile a week or so ago. Luckily, Mom was there to pull me out. That is what happens when you leap around on them like a wild hound I guess.
You two are ever so special. Enjoy your last romp. You’ll have some spring romps to do soon.
Have a woof woof Thankful Thursday. My best to your mom. ♥
We actually have our paws crossed for another good snowstorm in the next weeks, but we shall see.
appy momWhat fun!!! Great photos (as usual). Happy Dogs, Happy Mom!
We all had a lot of happy fun.
“one last romp?” don’t bet on it lol
In the really good snow and the deep snow. We hope for another good storm or two, but it will be the heavy wet snow.
We’re glad you got at least one last hurrah!! We never know what March might bring – or even April, but we do know it’s coming to an end.
Those were interesting statistics! I’ll have to look up NH.I don’t think we ever got snow in August, but I do remember getting some right around the 4th of July one year.
We hope we get another snowstorm or two, but we loved the powder snow we had. It is so nice to be out and play in. March/April snow is always heavy and wet.
My goodness! Y’all really were in some deep snow. It is great that you were bale to run and play in the park by yourselves. It looks like a great time although VERY cold!
It was a lot warmer than most of the weather we had recently! Having the park all to ourselves was perfect!
Oh that looks like fun! Maybe next year we will take a trip to where there is snow! We would like that although our Mom is not a fan of cold weather.
Unfortunately for you, one needs cold weather for snow. We are lucky our Mom loves winter as much as we do.
You wouldn’t have liked NYC at all this year. We had one slight storm with the snow about 2+ inches. The weather warmed and it was gone in a day.
Glad you had snow to play in.
City life would not be for any of us, and definitely not a city without snow. Mom like real cold winters with lots of snow and space to walk and play.
That looks like a lot of fun, i’m glad you got in one last blast of winter enjoyment for this year.
We’ll probably get more snow, but it won’t be nice because it will be heavy, wet spring snow.
It looks like fun. We didn’t get any snow this winter – me and Brinley have still never seen it.
You will need to be careful if you get into snow being white, you might disappear.
BOL August is the hottest month here we can’t imagine living somewhere where it would be cold enough to snow in August. That dog park looks like lots of fun, glad you got to enjoy the snow.
Snow in June or August is super rare, but we love the winter whenever it comes by.
