Snow Day #1

 It was a beautiful snowfall.

Huge flakes...drifting down...

for hours and hours and hours...

and hours.

It embraced sledding.

 And squealing with delight.

 And freezing cold hands. 

 The animals took it in stride.  

They have actually taken over the garage since Christmas.

It is like doggy/kitty daycare out there.

Hudson adores winter...

his "tiny" bit of Husky and Lab bloodlines

 fear no snow.

 Sugar comes out with irritation at having wet feet.

But does like some fresh air now and then.

Our beautiful old Sugar..

 Roxie is completely happy to stay in where it is warm.

Today I did witness her jumping and playing in the snow...

but only for a brief moment!

 Maxx thinks he is a house cat.

(Only he doesn't know he lives in the garage...

not the house.)

Therefore no outside time necessary.

(FYI - I really really hate litter boxes.)

 Hank - who is staying with us for a few days

at doggy daycare...

is a Lab through and through.

Adores the snow...

and sticks...

and Hudson...

and running in wild abandon.

Until it is time to sleep.  :)

 Sandy.

Really likes living in the garage.

And eating.

(Her jowl looks a little like mine!)

And laying in the sunshine on warm days...

But mostly...napping.

In her cubbie.

In the garage.  :)
