We’re doing the winter happy dance early at our house this year. It’s been cold for this time of year, and the weather people said we might get a few inches of snow on Tuesday, but it got real cold and we got nine inches of beautiful white stuff! Since we love snow we are all super excited. Of course, it is too early in the year for it to stay for long, but we are enjoying it while we can. Paws crossed for a long, cold, and snowy winter.
The snow came down really heavy for most of the afternoon so taking photos was tough. It was rather dark, and all the flakes make for blur and water spots on the lens, but our lady got a few shots of us. Being short made the going rough for short Madison.
All of us collected snowballs on our furs because it was really wet snow that loves to ride along on us. You can see Bailie’s front legs are pretty much covered.
Being the wild, young one in the family, I have been doing the most racing around. It is so much fun! Can you tell by my face how seriously I’m taking my racing?
Madison has to hop to get anywhere with her short self, but she has a lot of power and muscle in those little legs! As the vet told Mom, Madison is like a concrete block, solid as a rock!
Yesterday we were able to get out and see for a change since the snow had stopped. Our nine inches make this the second snowiest storm ever in October in Minnesnowta. Yes, we are all happy to get to do our happy dance in the white stuff of record!
Mom loves the colored leaves on the white snow, and what a coincidence that my furs look great with orange!
Watch out, I’m powering up to do some more racing. Mom says I look like a snow porpoise, but I think I look like myself.
Bailie really gets into running in the first real snow of the season. She is pretty fast too for being seven, and multi talented because she is also howling!
I think Madison is still tired from the night before because she isn’t bounding around a whole lot. It takes a lot of energy because the snow is very wet and heavy.
Watch out for Bailie, she is now racing through the pretty fall leaves. We have a real fall and winter scene going on in our yard this week. I wonder if Mom will be able to rake leaves or if the snow will keep coming?
It appears that Madison has decided to walk and not bound anymore. She is also looking for the trampled trails to travel on around the yard. I would bet if Mom called treats, Madison would run again.
Speaking of treats, it is time for this flying, winter happy dance hound to land. I need to get some fuel to keep on moving! We are all super thankful for this little storm and all the snow. What a great surprise at this time of year!
My GBGV Life is joining Brian’s Home Blog in the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
your flying ears!!! how great!!! I’m not sure about running through that white stuff butt da nelly said it is funny…
I bet you boys would love it! It is so much fun to bound around and create paths through the yard. All our ears fly, but Olivia has the longest ears, so they fly the best.
I love to see happy dogs!
It’s pretty safe to say we are happy dogs, I think.
Oh my goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any happier snow pups! That was fun for us to see. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Now, time for business, can we borrow your new fireplace to warm up? We only have one gas fireplace, but Mom hasn’t let us turn it on yet.
You girls sure know how to have fun – no matter what the weather! Great photos.
Snow fun is the best fun we think, and fun is what we love most, but doesn’t everyone?
Wow!! I can’t believe y’all have that much snow already. We know you’re happy but we’d be too cold. BOL
It was a great two days, but now we are getting rain and it is just a big old mess.
Nine inches! We still have the air-conditioning running here! Have fun in all that beautiful white stuff pups!
We will take the snow any day!
You all look so beautiful and graceful in the snow. I think I remember playing and running in the Minnesnowta snow when I was a wee little pup. It was so much fun. I haven’t seen any snow since I moved to Florida. Enjoy! XOXO, Sparkle
You could take a visit to the northland in the winter to play in the snow, but I bet your Mom wants to stay where it is warm.
What great pictures of you girls having a wonderful romp. We know the cooler weather must feel wonderful.
We are much more active with the cool weather. Keep the heat, we’ll take the cold.
You girls are so lucky! We have 70 degrees here today with humidity! YUK! I would much rather have what you girls have!
We would not want to have heat and humidity either. Hopefully you will get some winter soon.
They are having a blast!!!
We love to race around in the fresh snow.
I know you and your peeps love the snow. What a fabulous surprise. It’s still hot here in the daytime and chilly at night. The air conditioner is still running during most of the day.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches to the pups. ♥
We are thrilled to get such a load of snow so early in the year. Cold and snow is our thing.
You girls must have been very good this year…we think Santa Pawz may have sent you a very early Christmas gift!!
We don’t care who sent it, we just love it 🙂
I heard Minnesota was going to have snow…and yes indeedy that is snow.
Look at those happy ears
Hugs Cecilia
Yep, set a record with this one and we are loving it.
Wow !~ t’s 75 today in NE Ohio – which is also a bit unusual for this time of year !I
We prefer the snow, but it won’t last, it’s too early in the year.
What a happy, fun day!
We enjoyed a good 24 hours with our new snow before the rain and sleet started. It was a great time!
Wow!! We are so jealous! Great photos!
We all had so much fun racing around in the fresh snow. The first snow is always the most fun. Mom says it wears us out because the last two nights we are in bed sleeping soundly early.
