December 4 It's Finally a Snow Day

Our Great Pyrenees dogs would love it if winter lasted all year long. During the hottest part of summer, it is hard to get them outside. Now, thanks to our first good snow of the season, it is hard to get them to come back inside. Here's the excitement that occurred in my backyard today.

It all starts with Oslo giving Roxie the hairy eyeball from across the yard...then I say "Go get'em Roxie!".

Oslo has the speed advantage...Roxie has the weight advantage...they start by biting each others feet, then they move to biting the ears...

...once Roxie gets the upper hand...Oslo chooses the run away defense...

...then the fat girl chases the Fanook around the yard...

eventually she catches him and the foot & ear attacks begin all over again...

...with the occasional take down happening to one of them...

...then it ends with a time out to remove the snow packed in between the pads on the paws...

...and that is how to have fun on a snow day.
