Although the season technically won't change for over a month, it is winter here in The North, no doubt about it. My daily walks with the doggies have become more of a challenge, as I now have to dress warmer and trudging through the snow demands a lot more effort. During one walk this week I realized that I haven't posted anything about our darling pups lately, so here's one devoted to the little ones enjoying the season opener snow.
Reina has gotten so much bigger, weighing in at 48 pounds.
She's a bit of a scare-dy cat, although if there's a fence between her and a neighbourhood dog she'll put on a brave face and bark incessantly. Can you find Nanuq in this picture too?
Face wash! She didn't mind; she generally dives face-first into the snow anyway.
Nanuq is also growing like a weed; he now weighs 24 pounds. He's a little Momma's boy right now, but we think he'll be the fiercer one of the two when they're full grown.
Taking a "break" in the snow.
Playing fetch on the beach has a new element in a foot of snow; finding the buried stick. Reina's the fetcher, and Nanuq runs beside and either tries to get the stick,
or bites her neck. Either way, super annoying for Reina.
This part of the lake has yet to freeze over. The tiny ice crystals make a bizarre squeaking noise as they rub against the sandy shore. We took a long pause to enjoy the sound.
We had originally thought that Nanuq was a mix of husky and Labrador, however as he grows we see that he's more German shepherd, although he's definitely got that husky tail!
Sister and brother off to explore winter sights, sounds and smells.
The best thing to do after a long, cold walk? Snuggle with a friend.
