We love wintertime at our house. As a matter of fact, it is our favorite season, especially when it is like this year – cold and loads of snow. So what makes us love it so much besides its beauty? Read on to see ten of the reasons we have selected to share today.
One of my favorite things to do is to go for walks. Our city is amazing at clearing the sidewalks! If it snows today, they will be out clearing the trails by six the next morning. When you get a big load of snow, this is super important. Walking in the street can be dangerous but we know that our walkways will be nice and tidy.
On the other paw, if we go out before the storm ends, we have to make it through the deep stuff. Mom and Bailie think it is fun to be the first ones to step into the freshly fallen snow. Since they are much taller than I am, it is easier for them to do that.
All of us enjoy the peacefulness of a walk after a nice snow. The mornings are so quiet, the snow muffles the noise and not many cars are out yet because we walk so early.
Another thing we love about winter morning walks in the darkness. Something about the sun not being up yet makes it feel so much more relaxing and quiet. Most people are not out and we have the world to ourselves.
This year we have a lot of snow, so the snowbanks along the walkways are too high for us to see over. All of us like to hop onto the snowbanks to check for critters. Rabbits and squirrels are easy to spot on the white snow. If Bailie and Nelson see one, look out. Mom needs to hold on tight and it will get loud. Both of them love to use their hunting calls! They love wintertime for easier hunting.
The snow mounds are amazing this year. At shopping malls, they look like mountains! I enjoy climbing around on the giant snow piles in parking lots. A small girl like me can see a lot from up high.
I’m thankful for my siblings when it comes to our yard. They blaze a set of trails right away when it snows. After running them several times they get really nice and I can go out and about in the yard. This year, even our trails in the yard are pretty deep in the snow.
One thing I love is to stand on my back two paws and walk. People are amazed at how strong my core is. Well, I think it all comes down to living and keeping up with siblings who are bigger than I am. I have to use a lot more muscle to do what they do. Running through the fresh snow before trails have been made is a good example. It is exhausting!
Olivia is like mom, she loves to run and be fast all the time. Running in the snow is one of her favorite things to do. Of course, she is our sports hound.
Finally, I enjoy the winter fashion. A girl has to look good, right? Emma taught me a lot about fashion, and I honor her by trying hard to be fashionable. PS, in case you missed it, check out Nelson’s Man Cave, a reason he is loving winter!
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard for their Nature Friday blog hop.
We love winter but sadly, it’s not happening for us this year. You look gorgeous, Madison!
Ours was amazing but now it is falling apart 🙁
So many excellent reasons to love the snow. You are making us feel even more sad that we have seen almost none of it this year. Even on the big hills inland, which normally are white all winter, there are just patches and not a continuous covering. Most disappointing.
Toodle-oo!
Nobby.
PS Gail and I are both super impressed by your core strength!
Thank you. We feel sorry for those snow lovers who don’t have snow. Our weather is warming up but we have our paws crossed for more snow.
OMDs you are heading to NC….what city? OMDs that is a very long drive but you will enjoy our temperature today there will be rain coming in soon but no shoveling required with rain.
I love the last photo…perfect choice on accessories.
Hugs cecilia
Thank you. We are in Wilson for the weekend. Today isn’t bad for Olivia’s trial but Sunday for mine will be a soaker. We will still have fun.
Living in New York does not allow you to be a fan of winter. When it snows it gets dirty right away and people do t think they need to pick up poop. This year we have had no snow!
Snow is a big city is a mess. It is always a mess in Minneapolis and St Paul too.
winter makes a super back ground for photos.. and we LOVE your winter fashion.
It does as do all four seasons. There is no boredom.
Snow much fun! I think I miss the fun times I had in the snow in Minnesnowta! Have a safe weekend! XOXO, Sparkle
You probably wouldn’t be so crazy about it anymore but if you had lived her longer, you would.
We love your winter fashion!! We don’t get any snow here, and that is just fine with us. Little Mia would get lost in a pile of snow – and she is really much more of a summer girl.
Winter isn’t for everyone, but we sure love it.
Wonderful, wonderful shots!
ALMOST makes me want to be there!
LOL!
First off, your Winter fashion is on point girl…you look great!!
We have had an unfortunate lack of snow this Winter, so we liked living vicariously through you!

Rosy and Sunny
Up until recently it was a perfect winter for us. We are hoping for more cold and snow soon.
these were fabulous reasons and your photos are equally as fabulous!!!
Thank you. Too bad the Detroit area doesn’t have winters like ours.
We can sure tell by your happy faces that Winter time is a special time for all of you. Love your snow fun photos!
We thought of you as there were a ton of feral cats in the hotel parking lot the other night in Dayton Ohio. We have never run into that before.
My goodness…the snow in your area is quite impressive. That first pic is absolutely gorgeous! Norman is glad you like it, he prefers having his feet on dry ground. Elsa would love to run zoomies with you guys. Stay warm.
Zoomies in the snow are extra fun and we do love them.
You are the best winter hounds i know!
Thank you.
WOW. We had so far very little snow but after looking at your beautiful photos I kindof miss it! Well we have about 6 weeks left of winter so anything can happen in New England!
We love our winters with as much snow as possible.
I absolutely loved reading about your winter adventures with your GBGVs! It’s so heartwarming to see the bond that you share with your dogs and the joy that they bring to your life. Your photos are stunning, and it’s clear that your pups are having a blast in the snow. Your post is a wonderful reminder that winter can be a magical time for dogs and their owners, full of fun activities and new experiences. Thank you for sharing your winter wonderland with us!
Thank you. Winter is our favorite season, although we do have a lot of fun in every season. The heat of the summer is not so much our thing, though. Mom wants us to have as much fun as we can in our lives and experience as many things as we can too. I guess we are lucky hounds.
