Snow Dogs

Recommended Posts

No apologies for posting more snow pics - I've waited so patiently for our snow and it's only just arrived! :lol: So we took the opportunity to go sledging this morning, and took the dogs with us.

Ruby thought it was great fun racing through virgin snow

Candy has been very nervous out walking recently - she was caught unawares by a bird scarer and it has been difficult to get her beyond the first field! Today she forgot all her anxieties and really enjoyed herself:

Ruby wants to be a snow plough when she grows up:

She managed to gain some glittery sprinkles in the process (she also had snowballs hanging from her pantaloons but we didn't capture those on film :roll: ):

For the first time they actually played together:

Ruby needed to cool down a bit:

All now collapsed in front of the fire! 8)

Ooh some good ideas about the baby oil and paw balm. There has been some discussion on the springer forum about how to prevent snow balls - as you can imagine it is a common problem for spaniels! :lol: I also considered paw wax - my brother uses it in Canada, and I think you can get it from Pets at Home, but not sure whether it is worth it for the amount of snow we get :roll::lol:

 

I couldn't get the video of Riley to play ANH, but I get the gist from the 'blur' in the still photo! :lol: He's made a fantastic recovery hasn't he! 8)

They look like they are having a great time! We took Lola in the fields near my grandma's house and she just ran and ran. It's her first Christmas so has never seen the snow and seems to love it! She just runs, she also loves chasing after snowballs and when she finds them she eats them!

 

Were your dogs good with the sledges? Lola just wants to chase them, its ok when we are going down hills and she is running next to you but when its other people it becomes a problem. I think we need to do sledge therapy as well as hover therapy!
