Snow Coco

I’ve taken probably 200 shots of this dog this winter trying to get good snow/action that shows off her love of winter. This will have to do.

Compared to last winter at this time, we’ve had about 90% fewer snowstorms. I’ve still fired up the snow thrower, but last January, it seemed to snow every day. This time, only a couple of days and nowhere nearly as long or heavy.

I’m hoping that we continue to get the snow we need in the mountains and lighter fare in the valley. One must hope.

    Great shot. Almost makes me wanna get a dog. Almost.

    Meanwhile: The 90% fewer snowstorms you’re experiencing? Yeah, they came to my place.

    That’s a great shot. She reminds me of my Springer, Buddy. He loves the snow, too.

    or it could be totally different.

    Would love to get just one good snow here in NC. It’s been so long since we had a really big one. Had about an inch on Tuesday and my malamute was in heaven.

    That’s the lovely thing about quality snow-throwers. Purchasing one creates an anti-snow forcefield around your house.

    The bits of snow that are stuck to the fur on her muzzle make this for me. I can just imagine her sticking it right down in there and burrowing to throw it up into the air. Such energy!

    “This will have to do.” John, that photo is outstanding. I would be thrilled to have taken it. Good job.

    Snoco!

    If you ever have to put her in one of those head cones, she could be called Snococone.

    Zoom in to see Cheney, aka Henry F. Potter, taking the handicapped space.

      Lesley, thanks for sharing these links!

      I think this comment would be better with this post.

    Long time reader, first time poster (sorry, always wanted to say that)

    I guess I am lucky we live in Australia and don’t get snow. My dog would get lost!
