We were blanketed for much too long, but when that snow came down fresh a couple of weeks ago I got Layla out and she had a blast.

They always seem to want to stuff their whole head in it. Just about every dog I've seen does that.

I'm soooo glad it's getting warming and this junk is finally going away (although I must say I enjoy Yoshi's clean feet for once), but I know Yoshi is going to be so upset when it's gone and keep looking at me like there's something I can do to make more of it again. I actually don't want to see another snowflake in my life after these weeks of storms every few days and the horrible ICE... I've lost count of how many times I've fallen on my head or my ass.

I'll probably never get a youtube video.

Your guy is gorgeous.

Living where we do, our husky has never seen snow.

He's a bit out of place here, but he'd been in the animal shelter for a long time and our dingo needed someone to play with.

An odd couple... desert dog and arctic dog.

I can well imagine Yoshi in the snow!

It always makes me laugh when dogs I have known first see snow.

Every ice skating rink will have a pile in back of the building or in the parking lot somewhere where they dump the "snow" that the Zamboni scrapes off the ice. We have a rink in walking distance from us, and even when it's 90+ degrees in the summer there's still a fairly good sized pile of snow in back. It looks, feels and acts just like snow that falls out of the sky. Before this winter that's all Yoshi knew of snow since the last two since he's been alive we only got light dustings that melted all away in a few hours or so. EVERY night on our walks he made a bee line straight for the rink. When all this melts he'll be doing it again I have no doubt.

Some rinks put chemicals in their ice so just don't let him eat it. Our rink doesn't, but he wants to roll in it more than eat it. It's so weird be be sweating in the summer in shorts and a t-shirt and be able to roll around in a pile of snow.
