What a beautiful sight! Photos Added

[dreadnut]

Woke up to a foot of fresh, white snow this morning. All the schools are closed, we're gonna have to shovel out here pretty quick. I don't mind shoveling this fluffy white stuff, but I wish I had a dual-stage self-propelled snowthrower when the heavy stuff comes down...nah, I'll just get my boy to help me

This is our puppies' first experience with snow, couldn't get 'em back in the house for a long time, they were playing in the snow like a couple of little kids. The goldendoodle has long, curly lambs wool (no shedding either, what a bonus ) and she came in with about 40 pounds of iceballs in her fur :lol: I'll post some photos later when I get batteries for the camera.

Hey Dread - are we talking about dogs in the snow? I'm in!

My good friend is also a golden/poodle mix, "goldendoodle", who loves the snow. Waiting for the first flake of the season here in my corner of New England.

Record early snow expected in Houston today Dread....bout 200 miles south of me here. It snows in Houston about every 4 years, this year's is the earliest on record.

My dogs would want to come in during a snow, they've seen a couple of snow storms......we do have a slight possibility today....pretty chilly out there.

Re: What a beautiful sight!

yeah, Frosty, I think I'm going to try her out on skijoring this year, where you put a tow rope on your dog's harness, strap it around your waist, and go nordic skiing behind the dog. I suppose staying on the trail would be a good thing, we're gonna have to see how that all works out. She's got the webbed feet of the golden retriever so I'm thinking that's gotta be good for a pulling dog. She's gonna need all the advantage she can get towing ol' Dread around :lol:

Re: What a beautiful sight!

When I lived in the mountains in northern New Mexico, I had a totally white shepherd-mix that I named Fred. Cross-country skiing with me (I was on skis) on deep snow was Fred's finest hour. He did a remarkable 'porpoise impersonation' forging through the snow and always impressed me with his obvious love for the white stuff.

I find myself missing Fred when the snow starts to fall.

Wow! That's a classic dog-in-snow video. I'm laughing and crying because that's Fred, reincarnate! :lol: :lol:

Thanks for sharing that link,

Gentleman Jim,

I had no idea it ever snowed in Houston. I thought it never got cold enough, and never stopped raining long enough.

Pretty rare Doc. Every several years or so they get a light dusting. I think they got an inch or two today.

Probably even 2 or 3 years ago - It doesn't snow much here anymore - Global Warming (oops - hope Jim doesn't see this :shock: )
