Snowpocalypse

Apparently we have had something like 35 inches of snow since the beginning of January. This does not include the blizzard we had the day after Christmas, which dropped over a foot of snow as well. AND we are expected to get another foot (or more) of snow this week. Seriously? Where is the snow going to go???? It's already piled up so high everywhere. Parking in shopping center parking lots is a complete nightmare, and most corners have snow piled so high, you can't see cars coming and are forced to make blind turns. I did not sign up for this! And poor little Sadie and her short little legs...she has nowhere to go to the bathroom, unless she wants to climb up a giant mound of snow. It's a complete mess. Although it was rather funny watching her try to jump a pile of snow that was probably at least three feet high in order to see a dog that was barking at her! Wish I got a picture of that!!

I did however get some other wintery pics I'd like to share with you. Yes, it is rather beautiful after the snow falls, but now I just want it to melt!! Enjoy...

 I love winter trees so much.

 Our driveway (and my car) after the most recent storm.

 The view from the garage.

 A neighbor waving in the midst of the snow ha. 

 The sky was really that blue after the storm.

 So. Much. Snow.

 Our house covered in snow.

 Managed to catch the snow falling from the tree.

 I threw snow at Sadie. She wasn't pleased haha.

 "What do you want, Ma???"

 Sadie made her own fort haha.

 Love the snow on her nose hehe.

 

  Sadie's new Gators collar :)

Check out this creepy icicle! It looks like an arm!

Sled Dog

Last weekend, my uncle decided we should all go sledding! I had never been sledding. (Or at least I thought I never had...my mom said I went one winter in NY when I was very little. But growing up in Florida didn't provide much snow to sled on haha.) So we all bundled up, and headed out to a secret sledding locale he heard about from a friend. And by we, I do mean Sadie, too! She put on her winter coat and shook her little nub with excitement. She just loves the car, so she didn't care where we were going, as long as she was included.

Once we got to the hill, Sadie was very excited and basically just wanted to run free in the snow. I couldn't let her though, because I would have never caught her if she decided to be a punk and not listen (which was likely). So instead, I let her run down the hill to get me after I sled down it. She was so happy!

And then I decided to take her with me on the sled for one ride. I wasn't sure how she would react, but she stayed in my lap, and didn't try to jump off, so that's a good sign. I think she was shaking a little once we got to the end of the hill, but then she bounced back and ran right up to my aunt and uncle. So I think she had fun! And boy was she tired after that morning...and the poor little thing couldn't even sleep when we got home, because we headed to my grandparents' house for a birthday celebration. She passed out the second we arrived back home though!

Forgive me for not taking more pictures, but I nearly broke another cell phone by dropping it in the snow a few times just to get this picture haha. Fail. I would have loved to take more though!

Have you taken your dog sledding??

Snow Day!

First of all, Happy New Year! :)

Last week, we had a huge blizzard here in NY and got about 18 inches of snow. And I got a snow day from work! WOOHOO! Sadie was so excited. Not only did her momma get to stay home, but all the white fluffy stuff was on the ground again :) Sadie LOVES the snow. I wish she would eat less of it though lol. I didn't get a lot of pictures of Sadie in the snow this time...but I am sure we will have another storm soon enough. For now, just pics of the aftermath haha.

 My uncle, plowing us out!

 Snowww

 Our house in the snow

 Don't think I can get to the front door...

 Yes, that's me in my abominable snowman coat and Sadie in her little pink coat haha.

 YAY SNOW!

 Our lights were buried under snow, so I took some pics. Pretty cool, huh?

 Our street, a few days later and much less snow!

It warmed up this weekend, and rained, so the snow is pretty much gone now, but it was fun while it lasted!!

Snow, Snow, Everywhere!

Well, we got A LOT of snow this weekend...something like 20-23 inches! Sadie was very excited. We went out when it started snowing, and she ran around licking the ground with glee. Then when we woke up on Sunday, the snow was everywhere. Sadie ran outside and immediately fell into the snow and was covered haha. but she popped right back out and bounced around the yard. She had a lot of fun, as you can see from the pics! Other than playing in the snow, we did a lot of baking and sitting by the fire. We also put lights on our tree and made a very ugly gingerbread house (which has already fallen apart haha). (Sorry if picture quality is bad -- took these on my phone.) Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Sadie Loves the Snow!

More pics to come tomorrow!
