January: Snow Day!

About 2 minutes after the chinook winds (which howled for about a gazillion days in a row) had removed every last bit of snow from our backyard, a blizzard came up from Montana and dumped another 25 cm on us. Not that Cedar minded - snow = fun in her books! We took her for some fun in the middle of the storm to enjoy the weather and have the dog park to ourselves.

Getting out the heebies after being inside until *GASP* 2pm!

Carving freshies in the pow-pow! (whatever that means)

We got this toy in the fall from the discount bin at the pet store. Looked like fun - wow we weren't disappointed. Good heft, great fling-ability, and best of all - Cedar loves it!

Flinging your toy a little to the right...

And to the left...

Prance with your left foot (in the wind and snow)

Shake your toy around and around!

Jump through the air like you just don't care...

And....don't come back when you're called!

Yeehaw! Life is good!

It's all fun and games until someone gets a toy wrapped around their head.

After a few hours (joking - more like half an hour), she started to slow down and wait for toy throws like the secret border collie that she is...

I'm wearing my ghost mask camouflage

You can't see me. I've hidden my body. And my head is...well imagine it's a rock poking out from under the snow.

You'd think we'd been out in a blizzard...oh wait, that's right we were!

After an hour of play (and of us being stabbed in the eyes by innumerable windblown snowflakes), she was finally tired. Time to take this muppet home... :)
