snow Snow SNOW!
It was a fine day at Hazel Run--
the first major snow of the season!! Grace helped the Hazel Run Mama shovel a path on the deck. "Mom! It's amazing!! The snow is almost as deep as I am tall!!! Grace tore off the deck and ran over to the gate that leads to the Side Yard. The rest of the Pack was waiting there for her. "C'mon, guys!! The snow is great!!!!" There was a mad dash out into the drifts. "Ooof!! This snow is deep!" grunted Brier. "Not so bad if you follow Grace's path," chuckled Ember.

There was a mad dash back to the gate where the snow was slightly shallower. Ms Macie, however, adventurous soul that she is, leaped gazelle-like to the bottom of the hill to check for Varmints. The rest of the Pack, feeling secure that Ms Macie was on duty, played noisily at the gate. It's hard to keep up all that shenaniganism in deep snow, though, and soon the Pack was panting and snorting puffs of steam.

It grew quiet by the gate. The Hazel Run Pack began to shiver in the cold wind. "Hmmmm, do you think we could go inside now? Please?" "Good idea," barked the Princess~Queen and led the way onto the deck. King Ember and Grace counted heads as they passed. Soon everyone was accounted for except Ms Macie. "Where are you, Ms Macie?!?" yapped the King. "Has she been buried in the snow?!?" whined Grace.

"Oh, there she is!" barked the King with relief
as Ms Macie came leaping back up the hill. "I'm happy to report no Varmints were found on patrol, Your Majesty!" Ms Macie panted as she made one last heroic leap to land in front of the King. "Good job, Macie!" snorted the King, and Ms Macie ran up to joint the rest of the Pack.

"Good enough for me," yowled Grace,
"time to go in!!" And she bolted past the King so fast his tail feathers ruffled in the wind of her passing. The End The preceeding has been brought to you by the Hazel Run Pack.

The Pack all warm and snuggly...
madame hazel just happens to have snapped a few pics already!
What a surprise, eh?  I'm tellin' ya, she seriously needs a shutterbug intervention  Grace curled up on the kennel for a little snooze.
Most of the other Pack-members settled in his or her favorite bed... ...and the lucky Princess~Queen managed to get her favorite lap to nap in.

Thanks, EA. We hope they're happy. Dawg knows they've got us trained well to keep them that way.

The Kuranda beds are great!! The dogs love them. They're durable and water-resistent enough so that if someone barfs on one, it doesn't leak through.
The one time that happened ( ) I just took it outside, leaned it up against the deck rail and hosed it off We did buy some cheap but soft rectangular dog-beds to floof up the Kurandas, though. The dogs didn't seem to mind them bare, but they looked so hard to us. See, EA? Another case of them training us!

Yep, we did catch a whallop! But it's light and fluffy...don't envy you the lake-effect stuff, klm... I guess Madison got even more snow than we did.
The Pack did enjoy it immensely. Tomorrow, the sled run should be fast (our high is only going to be about 4 F...which is something like -18 C...so that should freeze it up good ) only since I have to keep Cole separate, I won't be able to use it till the weekend  Oh, well. Builds the anticipation.

What's up with Cole? Pardon me Hazel. :sad: I feel so out of the loop always trying to play the catch up thing. :sad:
Are you sledding tomorrow or building up anticipation for the weekend?

It wasn't too cold today, Jan--windy, but still got up to about -5 C. Tomorrow is supposed to be the coldest day, then slowly heading back up to the single digits below zero C into next week.
Ms Macie is quite the smiler when she's outside in the snow, aslan. She loves to run--and the snow sticks to her fur so she can be all messy when it melts out in the house. Both those things, running and being messy, make her smile! I did a little sledding today, klm--just to get the track 'groomed', so to speak--but will likely not get to use it again till Saturday. Cole has a stubborn corneal abrasion. He went to the ophalmologist on Monday who cleaned it up, abraded it again (how counter-intuitive is that?! ) and sent him home with 2 kinds of ointment and in a bonnet. The eye is looking better already, though, so the doc must know what he's doing!

I've found out in the past that taking pics while sledding is difficult, if not impossible. 'specially if Lil Belle is sitting in my lap on the way down!
But if hubby is around, I'll see if I can convince him to act as photographer.
