Spectacular Snow



Wow, two BIG snowstorms in less than a week - how lucky could we sibes get!!!  Last week we had 13.5 inches of beautiful white stuff - cotton candy to us!!!  Then overnight we got hit again.  They are saying about 8-9 inches but it is very heavy and got very compacted as it fell, so it doesn't look like as much.  There are lots of trees down and power outages in our area. So far we have been fine although a few of our neighbors' trees have broken branches.  AND we might get another couple of inches tonight.  We are totally in dog heaven.  Ciara is the pack snow bunny with a close second from Lightning. The two of them have been outside just about all day with a couple of 15 minute breaks when the Momster makes them come inside.  Thunder likes the snow too, but he comes inside more frequently.  And Phantom, well, he really does like the snow, but his body isn't tolerating it very well, so he only gets/wants to go out when necessary.

Heavy on snow, and heavy on photos.  We will keep our words to a minimum and let you enjoy our fun along with us.


First up, some shots from the storm last Thursday.



 I am very glad the Momster cleared a path across the deck for me.



Are you sure I have to go down the steps - can't I just use the deck?



Mom had to keep clearing the path or else she wouldn't have been able to open the door to let us out.  This was no mean feat given that she is once again nursing an injury to her left paw.







We think some bunny came through here last night. 







No, I am not in jail.  I am just hiding behind the last piece of that silly fence Mom put up.  She wants me to come in, but I am very happy right here. 





 
Loving it out here. 








A brief timeout.




Our fun playground. 


 
Thanks, Mom - we love playing up here.


 






My idea of the pawfect bed.




I beg to disagree.




Waging war to be King of the Mountain.

 


I dare you, Lightning, to knock me off.




How was that, Thunder? 



We are the best of buds, we can share the mountain.





And now for some shots from today:

 

 Looking out from the front door.



And from the deck in the back.






 



A brief timeout.




Life is so sweet!














Gotta love that happy smile! 






I think I just caught a snowflake!





Mom's handsome boy!





We forgot to put on our sungoggles!







Don't you know you are supposed to let sleeping dogs lie!!!
 



We hope you enjoyed our photoshow.




Me too, but it is time for me to get in a comfy snooze.
 

Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning

  28. I am so glad to see you enjoying the snow! We haven't been able to enjoy it as much as we'd like because Mom keeps spending time at the hospital. I am hoping we get to go out and have more adventures in the snow soon before it's all gone!

  50. Oh boy oh boy! That looks exciting! I, Cocoa have never seen snow, but I don't think I would like it, since it blocks access to the tasty grass. Great shots here though, and I love the one of Ciara and Lightning resting in front of the fence. And is it just me or does Lightning still have that puppy look?

  53. Hi, I thought we got alot of snow here in Colorado but it looks like nothing compared to what you got. I love seeing you all in the snow-Hunter loves the snow, loves to roll in it, roll his head in it, eat it. I wondered if there was something like a stick that he could have eaten that made him sick. Hope you have a wonderful afternoon. Lots of licks, Hunter & Noreen
