Molly would like to play with him I'm sure, though I don't know how she'd respond to snow (given her hesitance to go out when it's raining). <BR/><BR/>I once had a little terrier mix who encountered fresh snow one morning while we were staying with friends at a cabin in the mountains. He stood in the doorway sniffing a while, watched and the rest of us went outside to play, ventured forth tentatively (shaking each paw one by one at first) and eventually ran around wildly rolling and jumping and playing with everyone else. Pretty funny actually. I've got this incident captured on Super 8 film stored somewhere in a closet.storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-66167862684550399362007-12-03T05:08:00.000-08:002007-12-03T05:08:00.000-08:00Michele,I couldn't resist posting the two photos o...Michele,<BR/><BR/>I couldn't resist posting the two photos of the park.

I just can't seem to shake this stuff...<BR/><BR/>I love snow! As you may know, we don't generally get much snow here in Arkansas which makes it even more lovely to me when we do get snow. It was nearly 70F here this afternoon and now at nearly 11 pm it's down to 39F. I wish the weather would get cold and stay that way! I'm ready for Winter and Christmas scenes. Bring on the snow!<BR/><BR/>Meeko certainly does enjoy the snow, but then he's born and bred to it, isn't he?<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful week, Mary. ;o)<BR/><BR/>Love and hugs,<BR/><BR/>DianeDiane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-28119323654191077042007-12-02T20:30:00.000-08:002007-12-02T20:30:00.000-08:00Peppylady,Many breeds of dogs like the snow.

When I was a child we had a border collie and he loved nothing better than running down the hill beside the toboggan or sliding across the pond when we went ice skating. We had a lot of fun with him.

It helps keep the soil fertile. at present, it is pouring rain and foggy and that doesn't make me happy. If temperatures fall, which they are, roads will be treacherous. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-5692547466325204782007-12-02T17:27:00.000-08:002007-12-02T17:27:00.000-08:00Oh my I love the snow........

I'm browsing around as a new member of Green Thumb Sunday. What a perfect dog for the season. If you have a chance to pop over to my blog, please stop to say 'hi'. It's lonely out here on the Left Coast. We still have a bit of puny fall color ourselves and all the subtropical stuff is still in bloom. <BR/><BR/>Today's photo combines a bit of Sweet Gum and a stunning Mexican Marigold bush.
