Today, (Friday) we are having a "significant winter storm" according to The Weather Channel. All the radio stations are giving long lists of cancellations and school closures. We're expecting at least six inches of snow with strong winds.
At 1:22am there was no snow when Brook went out for a pee but by 5:30am there was about three inches, it was snowing heavily and still is. It would have been a great excuse to not come in to work, but since I don't get paid if I don't work...here I am. I would much rather be at home playing in the yard with the pack! (and clearing the driveway)
Callie got out for a wander yesterday morning and had the trail to herself.

| Come on, let's go! |
Callie ran, sniffed and rolled.
Luckily, the remains that she discovered were well decomposed and frozen. (enough said!)
Then it was time to head home and let the others outside for the afternoon to play in the sunshine.
This is how it usually starts.

Then the "attack".
Followed by the chase!
Sometimes these play sessions get a little out of control and I will intervene. Not often though. I am still a bit in awe of how they manage to communicate with each other since Breeze is blind, Azule is deaf and Brook is blind and partly deaf.
They sure do look like a fun bunch. I've seen that ankle biting move by Tucker on Ray so many times I'm surprised Ray isn't a couple inches shorter.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your snow. All we're getting is rain. Bummer.
When Breeze was little, she got her ankles grabbed so often that she had open sores on both ankles. You want snow? We've got lots to share!
DeleteYork University declared it a snow day. Beamer and I are going to have a romp in the snow after I've officially gotten up. DK also took the day off from work to avoid the traffic, so today is a total write off for us.
ReplyDeleteBrook, Breeze, and Azule look like they're having a blast. It's amazing how they can play so well together when some of them are blind and/or deaf.
I love Breeze's pattern. Are the spots on or under her fur?
I shoulda stayed home but, I'm all about the money.
DeleteBreeze's spots are under her fur and recently, some people have commented that her spots seems to be getting darker. As the vet says, pick a breed and it's likely in her!
Enjoy your time in the snow!!
Love the picture of Callie on the trail! The pics of puppy wrestling & Breeze napping are great too. Duke likes to grab Maggie by her ankles too, we tell him to let go of her chicken legs when she starts to get aggravated. :)
ReplyDeleteLuckily they closed the office today, we're supposed to get 2 feet of snow by midday Saturday, yay. Hope the weather there isn't as bad!
We're expecting at least six inches of snow then by Monday it's forecast to rain. Weird weather.
DeleteBreeze gets mad sometimes when Azule and Brook get her down and both of them will jump on her and wrestle. Even though she's bigger, it's not fair!
we are jealous of you getting moisture....the pack looks like they have a blast together and what could be better than a pack doing zoomies and playing bitey face. Hope you have a great weekend. Hugs to the pack
ReplyDeleteDoing zoomies and playing bitey face is a favorite activity and lots of fun to watch!
DeleteA shame you can't get paid for staying home a day. Love seeing the pack enjoying the snow and some rough play outside.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
It's been a busy day at work, it woulda been WAY more fun at home in the snow!
DeleteSorry you had to work, and hope you had an uneventful drive home!
ReplyDeleteWe love it when we have the trail to ourselves (which happens more often than not). It must have been pure doggy bliss for Callie to find a dead thing to roll in! ;-)
There's nothing like a good romp in the snow. I think Wrigs misses out on a lot being an "only dog." Having a pet human is just not the same. Fortunately, he gets to play with our neighbor's dog occasionally.

The drive home was better than the drive in to work!
DeleteWith all that snow, the pack is having a great time and I am again today, wishing I was home to play outside with them in the sunshine.
Howdy Mates, isn't it amazing the differences in our weather. You having storms and snow and us with heat and beach fun. That's the beauty of Blogville, we get to see the other side of the world! Yes our beach was fairly secluded but is busier during school hols. It was nice though to be able to let the dogs run and run without restriction. Keep warm. No worries, and love, Carol(and Stella and Rory)
ReplyDeleteI love taking the dogs to the beach and letting them run and run! The blind girls do very well with the open space and frequently venture into the water as well. Ah....soon we'll have warm weather again but until then, we'll enjoy the adventures of others.
DeleteVery interesting to see them play! When you have visitors over are they just totally in awe?
ReplyDeleteVisitors are usually surprised that they are so quiet! Once the initial barking/warning is done, that's it. Sometimes people get concerned about one getting hurt with the rough play and wrestling but as it's explained and they watch, they can see how the dogs control themselves and each other. Also, with the blind trio, visitors do cringe once in a while!
DeleteI love how they skillfully tag team her! That's so funny! (except when it gets out of hand of course.)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is funny to watch and impressive too. Not to worry, Breeze gets back at Brook by standing over top of her and not letting her up, so it ends up being somewhat fair.
