Wishing everyone and every-dog a very Merry Christmas!
We're thrilled to be having a white Christmas. This is winter wonder fun playland for them - this time last year there was zero snow and a pool in the middle of the yard. There's something quite awesome about seeing dogs play in snow. Space to run, leap, dig! Frolic!
For example, one of Moll's most fav things to do in the snow - she loves to catch snowballs or 'find' them after I throw them. I'll toss a big one in a drift and she will do a series hops that ends in one gorgeous leap, her feet and nose first in the soft snowpack. (Reminds me of a polar bear hunting for seals hiding under the ice/snow.) Then she'll dig like crazy... where is it? I know it's in here somewhere! She'll pop up her head, covered in snow, and ask for the next snowball.
Ben's job in the snow is to find the ground. Echoing Molly's thoughts... where is it? I know it's in here somewhere! Yep this guy will sniff the ground... and pick out a spot to excavate. And this guy, he'll dig til he finds that solid ground. And to make sure, he'll try a sample of that glorious mud and grass concoction that he unearthed from the depths of that white cold stuff.. Yep that's the ground alright. We're all good it's still there. But lemme check o'er here to be sure. Proud Ben. And more digging commences. Messy yes, fun to watch? You bet.
I have the dogs riled up because shortly we are expecting the original snow dog himself, Mr. Shada dog, the ginormous husky and Borris the silly floppy labradoodlesomething. I'm looking forward to clutching a mug of hot something and snapping a few pics of dogs reminding us to enjoy ourselves this holiday season.
