It may be just 6 or 8 inches of new snow, but it made for a great outside play time this morning. Ooly’s grown so much that it’s hard to tell her from the other dogs at first glance. I think this first one is of her, with the snowballs around her nose, but it may be Xupe.

That’s Ooly above, trying to get the other dogs to play stick with her. Chev, Xupe and Finley were happy to run around in the snow, but none of them were interested in her stick.

What I love about weather this cold – 9 below zero this morning and 4 degrees now in the late afternoon – very little snow sticks to the dogs fur and paws, so the floors don’t get wet when they come bounding back into the house.
