Haha, great pics Amanda!! I love their expressions when they first see snow, it's like where is all my dirt, sad face, then it's game on haha, I can dig in this white stuff, yay!! last pic just too cute.

crazy face too funny. she dose look like a lawn ornament; Leo look like one in the summer when he sun baths lol, lol a snow mustache. love the snow pictures like the last one the most.

Heheh lawn ornament cause she looks like a where's Waldo with the snow as her backdrop and she looks almost teenie amongst the background. Almost. That was Sat morning when the snow was just starting to pile up.

That pink thing is her 5 dollar Walmart kiddie pool. I forgot to empty the rain water and it froze over. I kept flipping it so that water wouldn't collect in it but for whatever reason, the husband kept flipping it around again. Red did enjoy slipping and sliding on the ice though!

She didn't have too much of a reaction to the snow at first but once she dipped into it, she loved it! She was jumping around so hard and fast that she almost sent me flying face first into the snow but I caught myself in time. She happily peed and pooped in thr snow without hesitation so I guess she doesn't miss her dirt all that much!

I bet Leo makes a great lawn ornament with all the plants around him too!

As promised, here are the rest of the snow pics!

The glorious stick that she loves so much.








Serving up 1 tired pup.




I sat down first and in she waddles and plops herself between my leg and the coffee table.

Here she is from last night. Glowing cone of shame...poor Red has a skin infection. Hope it goes away soon. She thought she was she was in trouble when she got the cone put on because as soon as we got home from the vet, she immediately went and crated herself on her own.



Well, I'm off to go medicate the pup now.

Oh my goodness, you got some great shots!!! Some are just plain beautiful and some I really *feel* the cold, hahaha. Red had a blast!!! Good for her! The snow and all the trees, just beautiful!

I hope Red's skin infection isn't too serious does the vet know what caused it? Poor Red, get better soon!

Thanks Jimmy! A Nikon camera on continuous shot helped me get some of these pics. The greyish colored pics were on the day it was snowing and overcast. The brighter pics I got the next day when it was sunnier and was able to use an actual camera rather than my cell. It was crazy cold but I don't think Red felt it! She had tons of fun running around and dragging me along behind her. It was almost as if she could anticipate eveytime I was going to sweep snow onto her face cause she always lifted her face just in time!

I noticed the last couple days she was licking more than usual and yesterday she was sitting in a position where I could see without trying that she was pinker than what I thought was normal for her girly bits. I hate having to medicate her and putting her in the cone because she's so miserable but it's for her own good. Vet said she either caught a bacterial infection recently or she might have a yeast infection. I'm thinking she may have nicked herself and all the licking may have caused the wound to fester. Wish her lots of get well vibes!

There is not one bad pic Amanda, they are all frameable. The set where you see the snow/frost on your gloves, just looks freeeeeezing, LOLOL but yeah, Red doesn't look fazed at all, haha, she's loving every minute.

Awwww of course Red gets get well vibes, hopefully it heals quickly. I hate when any of our pups are not completely well. Get well Red !

Initally it was cold but as I started shoveling I got warm and eventually took my gloves off. Red makes this puff whistle noise with her nose as she blows out of it when she gets it wet with snow...it's so cute!!

She's getting a bit better today (Thanks!) and the pink/redness (ahh her name!) is slightly down today which is a good sign. I had the worst time trying to wrestle her down so that I could apply the medicated gel on her this morning! Even with a cone, she still wiggles at full force!

I feel your pain! I had to do ear drops in Kohdi's ears and he just wasn't having it. It ended up EVERYWHERE, haha. I wish Red a speedy recovery.

You gotta get a video of the nose whistle, hahaha

Heheh I will try to get a vid of the nose whistle.

Yessss it stinks! Did you end up medicating half the bottle of ear drops on the floor instead? I had to have the husband hold her down tonight while I applied the gel. There's no way I'm doing this again by myself tomorrow morning so I'm getting up at 4am to give her the next dose with my husband since that's when he gets up for work. Ughhhhhhh!

I wonder if our pups truly understand what we go through for them? Hah maybe not!

Ooh i see the glowing cone of shame..lol poor Red i know they hate it BUT they need to wear it for thier own good haha hope she gets well soon

Btw awesome snow pics! I'm jelous of your snow

LoloL Jane, you can totally HAVE all my snow! Back aches from shoveling/falling and expenses for snow tires come as a free gift with it!

Red seems to be doing a bit better tonight. She zoomed around so fast that she made the cone fall apart but I was able to reattach it.

Here she is being unimpressed with the fact that I caved and got myself a pink Beanie baby husky:

Lol hm never thought about the shoveling and falling..but snow tires and the snow..deal! Lol

Ah man Memphis hit the door so hard with his cone it flew off and broke one of the clips ugh haha

OMG I want! thats freaking adorable.. i didnt even knowbthey still bad beaniebabies
She thinks shes been replaced lol

Awww hope Memphis is ok! They usually get right back up and shake it off like nothing but sometimes they stun themselves after a particularly hard fall or bump. Maybe that was his method of getting the cone off!

Don't know if Beanie Babies are still being made but I got this one off of eBay which is a retired one from 2006. Red was whining like a baby when I wouldn't give it to her cause she thought it was a new toy for her....she'd shred it in 2 seconds flat if she ever got her mouth on it.

Ohhh...what a mess you will have if she does ever get it. When we first got Ami, he was outside all day except for crating at night. We were still building his dog house and when the temps dropped into the 20's and we had a light snow, I was worried he would get cold (silly mummy ). So what did the bright one do? I brought out an old bean bag "chair" that the kids had when they were little.

A year later, I was still raking up teeny tiny little styrofoam balls all over the front and side lawns

beautiful pics, you could frame them all . love the one were she is trying to catch the snow just before it lands on here. lovely illuminated cone, get well soon Red .

Yay! Nose whistle video!

Hahaha, no Amanda, Kohdi had a very medicated forehead

How long will Red have to have this medicine applied to her?

Goodness Amanda, I have missed out on some great pics. I am so sorry she has not been feeling well, poor girl. I adore the snow pick of her and your hand, haha, to cute.

@Amy - hah hahhahaha I'm so sorry, I don't mean to laugh at your expense as I can certainly imagine what a horror it must've been to clean up all those little styrofoam balls. But its just too funny! It would have made a great scene in a movie. Ami is telling you to he's ready for a new chair for him to lounge on!

@Ronin - Thank you! Those are some of my favorite pics also. The other night I went to take her cone off and forgot there was a string attaching it to her collar. So she took off as soon as I got the cone off but freaked out and scooted her butt cause as fast as she ran, the cone was right behind her "chasing" her and making banging noises against the floor. My husband was in hysterics and couldn't stop laughing! Poor girl!

@Jimmy - at least you knew Kohdi wasn't going to have a forehead infection anytime soon! Lol. Red finishes her antibiotics tonight and the gel will be done on Mon. She actually didn't fight me yesterday and today and pretty much just spread her legs (lol so bad!) for me with me having to pin her down. ..but this was only after I dragged her butt out of her crate. It's like she gave up fighting back as soon as I got her on her doggy bed.

@Renee - no worries! I've gone a week or so without being on here. Only reason why I'm able to send such a long reply this morning is cause I had to call out of work today. Doesn't she look like a trouble maker in the glove pic? Hehhe one squinty eye.

I really do not know what I was thinking, Amanda. My previous husky routinely shredded anything left with her so I should have known better. We just got caught off guard with the cold, did not want to keep him crated all day and thought he should have something other than cold, frozen, snowy ground to sleep on. Now that he's earned indoor priviledges, I sort of laugh...this is Ami on a cold day with me trying to coax him inside:




Those damn little balls really haunted me that summer, though, and I still laugh at my stupidity for giving him the bean bag.

Amy, I bet we've all left some thing with our pups under good intentions only to find those intentions in about a millions pieces all over the place.Lolol I can't leave any type of blanket or mat in Red's crate that has stuffing in it cause she always shreds them and then we find fluff all over the place. Now I only get her blankies or sheets to cover her crate from the Goodwill because she likes shredding her linens all the time.

Ami looks so comfy in that spot. He's saying he's found his spot and needs to cool down his butt!!

Enjoying Lassie on tv.

Oops. She caught me taking her pic.
