1st Snow

Here is the gallery. Just Added Some...

I felt like following Daphne was like a blur and all the while her housemate Louis was watching and started playing with Stryker and Daphne. What a ball of excitement Daphne is. 

Then you had Strker enjoying the snow but not like Daphne. He ended up a sopping mess.

All the dogs did so now we have warm blankets to dry and chill on. We will do it again and again. Exciting times for firsts. I even put on my snow pants and tried to put on my hat but several dogs barked and barked at me so I took it off and the barking stopped. Maybe I need to wear the hat more often to condition them.

Even Harlow went out and went ah the white stuff is back. At 1st she thought, I imagine that Daphne was a rabbit running under the brush and then she realized and it was as if the fun dissipated. Oh her.... no rabbit hunting. She so looks forward to it and she likes the pups but not to try to catch.

How much snow will we get? You tell me.

Didn't get much but enough. The dogs got sopping wet as it was wet snow. They had a grand time, though!

Tom thinks we had 5-8cm, the snow is weighting down my red Japanese maple so heavily he went shook the snow off 2x. The salt/brine trucks came 2x also, some neighbors even shoveled their driveways.
And yes, snowballs galore on my 2, Pixie absolutely went nuts, running around crazy in the backyard.
Oh my, is Stryker handsome!

We did not get 8cm here. But it is snowing now.
