Finally! Yesterday I got to have a true Snow Day! Which means I didn’t have to go to work, and I got to spend the day playing with my family in the snow.
This was Baby P’s first big snow, and I was so excited to show her exactly what to do on a snow day.
We make snow angels on Snow Days.
And we go sledding on Snow Days.
And we curl up on the couch and wait for mom to make us a warm beverage on snow days!
What do you do on snow days? 
Christmas will be here before you know it, and since I know Santa would totally appreciate a little extra help when it comes to my wish list I decided to make it a little easier on him. So here’s what I’m hoping finds it’s way into his sleigh this year.

2. Pet Teepee
And because my little sister, Baby P didn’t want to be left out I helped her pick out a few things for her wish list too. As you can see I have had quite the influence on her, and some of the items are things I’m hoping to enjoy with her too!
2. Fisher-Price Smart Stages Puppy
3. Toddler Sled
What do you think will be on your pup’s list this year?
When winter storm Jonas hit my area on Friday night I was ready for it! Although when I awoke the next day in the midst of the storm, I wasn’t quite prepared for having to make a trek to find a spot to pee!
Good thing mom was on hand to help me trek through the Blizzard in search of a spot!
Although, I may have gotten a bit distracted as to the purpose of this excursion! I spent most of the day on Saturday curled up inside waiting for the winds and snow to die down so I could actually go outside and play.
By Sunday the storm had ended, and we were left with 26+ inches of glorious snow and I was ready to go outside and play!
Dad thoughtfully shoveled me a potty area in the backyard, but as you know, I like to blaze my own trail!
I know there is a lot of dogs out there that don’t like the cold, wet snow to touch their paws, but I’m not one of them! I love to explore in the snow, and mom and dad end up having to make me come inside because I’ll stay out there until I’m shivering.
Check out the fun video below of me enjoying my snow day….
Eventually I had to help dad clear the driveway, as were were pretty much snowed in at that point.
It’s a good thing I’m not very good at holding a shovel, because clearing the driveway was hard work!
By mid-day Dad had cleared just enough that we could get out for a walk.
So I took the opportunity to visit the neighborhood kids who were having a blast “attempting” to sled in the deep snow.
Stay tuned on Friday for the continuation of my snow day adventures, where I got to play with my ponies on the farm!
Does your dog enjoy playing in the snow?
When the winter rolls around I sometimes (like most of you) spend a little more time indoors. Because honestly, I’d much rather be warm and toasty then freezing my tail off! But when it snows, that all changes, because one of my favorite activities involves a fresh dusting of snow and some of my furry four-legged friends.
It’s time to go sledding with my ponies!
All I need is a warm winter coat, an inner tube, and a willing pony! Good thing Boomerang and Blitz were more than happy to let me hitch a ride.
I hear even more snow is headed my way this Saturday……AND I CAN’T WAIT!
What sort of things do you do for fun in the snow with your dog?
Hooray! My 2014 Holiday Card has made it’s way to my online shop along with all my other designs from years past.
This year I decided to do my own rendition of the classic Christmas song, Jingle Bells.
Why don’t you sing along with me,
Dashing through the snow
In a one-dog wooden sled
O’er the fields we go
Barking all the way
Bells on collars ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and bark
At all the neighbors tonight!
Happy Holidays!
Now I’m sure you probably think I’m a total pro behind the camera (which yea, I sort of am), but it actually takes me quite a few tries to get that one perfect shot for my holiday card every year. And as I’m sure every super model has outtakes just like me, I thought it would be fun to share a few of mine….
And lets just say there is dozens more where that came from. So as you can see creating my spectacularly cheery holiday card each year is no easy task – it’s an art I tell you! An art that I’m still perfecting even after 6 years of “modeling”.
So if you’d like to shop my spectacular awesome holiday card you can check it out in my online shop – it comes in singles and 8 card sets for all your happy mail sending needs!
Over the weekend I decided to go on a sledding adventure at the farm. So I grabbed my favorite ponies (Minnow, Blitz and Boomer) and hitched them to a sled for some fun!
Trooper and I had a blast chasing the sleds – we even made it a little friendly competition out of who could get there first. (it was me incase you were wondering)
Dad even broke out his snowboard for a little more “extreme” fun. We’re a little unconventional around here.
You can bet I’ll be doing some sledding again real soon!
