One Weekend in Maine…
We had a blizzard this weekend. How about you?
Three feet of snow in 24 hours + hurricane-force winds = six foot high snow drifts.
It was awesome. The dogs can tell it better than I can, so here’s Boogie and Birdie (and one snow ninja):
Day One: We dig out. Note: for perspective, the snow ninja is almost 6 and half feet tall.
Boogie’s first bathroom run during the blizzard
Because of the winds, there were huge snow drifts and bare spots where the grass was showing. Boogie headed towards the nearest patch of grass.
Snow Face.
Slow Motion Shake Down
Day Two: The sun comes out. Birdie smells the air. She is sad to report that it does not smell like peanut butter or pepperoni. She heads back to the house.
Boogie channels his inner bunny rabbit to hop through the snow drifts.
Boogie?
Spotted!
Birdie returns for a quick flight around the yard. Flap those ears Bird!
Did someone call for a Super Bird?
That’s my girl.
Boogie digs…digging
Boogie gets ready to go in face first.
The only thing he loves more than digging is playing catch. Here’s Boogie waiting for me to throw some snow.
Eye on the prize.
Going for it.
YES!
…and then it was time to go inside for a nap.
For me, playing with the dogs is the best part of snow days. I hope that those of you who got stuck in the blizzard were safe and able to have some fun too.
Wishing all of you a warm, play-filled week!
