Winter Wonderland
What a joy this weather is when you have snow dogs! 
They are having so much fun, even my little old lady is enjoying herself. But Timber and Trooper are having the most fun. Chasing each other around, throwing their balls in the air, digging in the snow. It cracks me up.
Trooper especially is in heaven with the snow. His coat is so thick he could sleep outside all night and be comfortable.
Of course we are cruel parents and “force” him to sleep inside at night. LOL The poor guy. Of course we do tend to open the window to get fresh air moving, even when it’s 10 degrees outside. The things we do for our babies.
Timber thinks this weather is the best thing since dog food. He wants to be out there ALL the time. All day and night. It’s so cute. I don’t know that he’s ever seen snow. Although I’m sure with his old owner he would have seen plenty and not have been taken inside.
I would have thought that he’d get cold but he seems just fine. Maybe he’s got a super secret undercoat that we can’t see. =) Because his coat is ten times as thin as Trooper’s.
It was 11 degrees this morning and, as usual, I had the door open while the dogs were outside. We don’t ‘lock’ them out … we like to be able to hear what they’re doing and let them come in when they want (when we don’t call them in ourselves). And for *some* odd reason I felt like it was colder than normal. hahahahaha I can’t imagine why that was! =) 32 degrees is one thing, but 11! We’re definitely not used to that kind of thing here.
I hope everyone is staying warm and dry wherever you are! I’m praying the electricity stays on during the wind storm they’re predicting.

They look *very* comfortable in the snow. Gee, wonder why? LOL!
It’s like PETA people thinking it’s cruel to make draft dogs pull carts or herding dogs round up sheep; it’s who they are….! Snow dogs have got to love the white stuff!

I’m staying inside today as it’s cold outside here, but nothing like where you are. Your dogs are beautiful and they certainly have good parents. As it should be.
Have a terrific day.

Looks like you got the snow you wanted! I’m glad the dogs are loving it. I don’t think you have to worry about them being cold.

It’s that cold here, but no snow yet. They look so happy. Poor little chihuahua is not so excited about the cold. She’s a good girl though and gets out to do her business before rushing back in to snuggle under the blanket with mom.

They look like they are having a great time.
I’m jealous. I love taking the Dogs out in the snow.It is amazing to see all the fresh animal tracks crossing the paths in the mountains.
Hope you all continue to have fun.
