Joyful dog, curled up cats

Even when it snows in our area, it doesn't stick for very long. Today there are patches on the ground but things are going back to brown. This morning the air was foggy and mystical.


After last week's snowfall I went out with Choco for a walk. Hmmm. She is a white (and black) dog but because she spends most of her time in our yard she also tends to go brown very quickly. And against the white snow she had a very dingy tint!

We walked past farms and manure piles.

"NO! Don't do that!!!"

Before I could stop her, Choco was rolling in a manure pile.

"Okay Dog! That just killed your chances for spending a warm day in the house! Back outside you go!"

I didn't have time to give her a bath. (And I KNOW she doesn't want an icy spray with the hose.)

Oh the way home, there was a field of snow laying out in front of us.

"Oh, go and have a run and see if you can wash off some of the gunk while you're at it."

Off Choco went for a spin around the field. One happy dog!

The snow is falling. The hail is falling.
They steadily fall and are piling up,
The dog is so joyful running around the yard,
The cat is curled up by the fire place.
