The intense quiet after a heavy snowfall is one of the few redeeming qualities of snow.

It's about the only redeeming quality.

The winter before I left IL we had one of those 100 year snows. I had to shovel out paths for the fur-kid.

I don't mind it covering up the mud either.

Puppy on the run!
Baron was a yellow lab/greyhound cross. He absolutely loved to run, especially through fresh snow. This was in our front yard where the powder was over knee deep, he just ran till he dropped.

We've got one of those...

Gotta love puppies in the snow days, especially when the sun comes out. Winter is fun, especially if you take the time to go out and enjoy it.

I miss this dog.

His name was Baron. My sister's boyfriend bought him at a garage sale. Neighours were selling the litter, one neighbour had a yellow lab, the other had a greyhound, fence wasn't tall enough. Baron was the runt of the litter, but was always healthy. He was pure black, but had a brown tinge to him in sunlight. His front legs and chest were lab, his back, rib cage, stomach, and back legs were all greyhound. Head, ears, and tail were a mix. As a puppy his back legs would outrun his front legs, he'd trip and roll, and get right back up at full tilt. He was very smart and you could teach him any trick you could think of. Tell him to speak and he'd bark. Tell him to whisper and he'd softly talk to you. Tell him to cry and he'd whine. Ask him if he wanted it (or just hold up a pizza crust) and he'd tell you "I want it". Clearly. Actually, if you had pizza crusts, he'd do every trick he knew over and over again in front of you until you gave up that crust.
He absolutely did not like having his picture taken. I managed to get this one of him because he was desperately waiting for me to get in the truck and go for a ride.

Jasper just loves the snow and colder temps, he has way more energy without overheating.

Currently this house is puppy-less.

After Baron passed away, my sister got a Golden Retriever puppy. Phoenix had an instant place in everyone's heart. But, now that she's moved to Michigan, I don't get to see him much. My other sister has a Golden Doodle named Perry, after Perry the Platypus from Phineas and Ferb. He's an absolute goofball. Fun loving, happy-go-lucky, not a care in the world, not the brightest bulb, goofball.

Phoenix absolutely loves the cold. Last winter, when the temps dropped to -30C, he would beg to go outside and then would just curl up on the deck and nap. When we were ready to go to bed we'd find him covered in snow, fast asleep, and not wanting to come inside. In the summer, he searches out any amount of water that he can get into.

Baron was short-haired and would get cold as soon as he stopped moving. He'd shiver in air conditioning. But he would also overheat in the sun. He was also a water buffalo, would drink until his bowl was dry

What is this "snow" eveyone's talking about?

Cocaine, I think.

You know those photographer types.

What do you mean were out of cocaine?

Lots and lots of sun here. 70 degrees, no wind, jackets are gone. Ahh.. Spring.

Not much sun and nearly 50 degrees colder than Dallas....definitely not Spring here.

It's definitely not spring here either. Spring can wait, I want to go skiing.
