Snow Days - 34 Days Old

Miley

 

Maurie

Our girls just love the snow. They love sticking their noses in the snow to look for their balls, Miley will even stick her ball in the snow, bury it with her nose and then dig it back out. They love to catch snowballs and to "help" as we shovel snow off the porch or drive way. They seem to really enjoy just sitting in the snow too and it took some convincing this morning to get them back in the house. For the past few days they have been living a dream, we got about six inches last weekend and most of it is still here.

Not sure yet about the white stuff

Today, while the sun was out and it felt almost nice, we decided to see if this love of snow had been passed on to the puppies as well. They were all a bit hesitant at first but quickly followed Maddie and the girls out onto the driveway. They walked through the snow and smelled everything but I think they were more distracted by all the new things they were encountering, it was also their first walk outside, that the snow was just one more new thing. They seemed to enjoy playing under the rose bush and smelling around the car. Here are some pictures of their playtime outside, sorry some of the pictures got a bit blurry, I have also identified the puppies I know for certain in each picture .

I think perhaps that we will take them out again tomorrow, if its not too cold, and see if they are more excited about the snow the second time.

It is getting harder to take pictures before they get up and walk away.

One benefit of a big play day outside is that they were all totally exhausted when we came back inside. Before they were all back in their room some of them had already curled up and fallen asleep. We turned the heat on high and dried their feet to make sure no one was too cold and they slept for a few hours. Although when they had some visitors this afternoon they quickly woke up and wanted to play again.
