Snow Day!

As a lot of you already know, the East Coast was slammed with a big snowstorm the other day. Boy, was I surprised when Ms. Alpha opened the door on Monday morning! Since I am genetically programmed to be delighted by just about anything with a potential fun-factor, I went bonkers and zoomied all over my giant field.

Just look who I met! The most perfect snow dog showed up to play rough and run with me. Here is Beau, my pretty white friend who was the only other dog interested in Extreme Winter Sports.
Beau is teaching me how to curl my tail over my rump.
"Is this how you do it??

Then it was my turn and I tried to teach Beau 
to do a herding outrun.Beau is a little slow and 
doesn't understand that first you have to move.

I laid down to make it easy for Beau to catch me.
But I am a trickster.....

...When he got near, I just zoomed away.

I finally let Beau catch me for a little wrestling.
Beau has me in a very compromising position.

After Beau left, I went back to being 
The Vigilant Border Collie.
Nothing escapes my notice and I watch 
for anything that moves.
I gave each and every snowflake my collie eye.

Hey, Fen!

I loved your snow photos. Hope you didn't lose your white friend amongst all of the snow out there!
I don't care too much for snow, though. My sister, R.C., likes it much better than I do.
You looked like you had a blast out there with your buddy! :)
Tomorrow, we are supposed to hit 82 degrees here. We haven't had snow for quite awhile.

Have fun!

Hi, Fenway!
You and Beau sure had lots of fun!
I've never seen snow and I think it is too cold for me but I enjoyed seeing you playing there!
Kisses and hugs

Wow! You look like you had an awful lot of fun in all that snow! What I wouldn't give to live back there sometimes! I just got to experience snow a couple of weeks ago and had just the best time snorting in it and running in the deep powder - that is my idea of having a ball! You keep playing in that great stuff! Love and Licks, xo Sammie

You got way more snow that the paltry 1.5 inches we got here Fenway. Looks like you had great games and of course no snowflake escaped your great BC eyes!

Your friend,
Niamh

That snow was the best one we've gotten this year. Too bad winter's almost over it sure was fun to run around in it for a day or two!
