first snow!!

after being away from good ol’ mountain winters for the past few years, i’ve been a little hesitant to face the snow again. and then the snow decided to face me. we had our first snowfall yesterday – at least 3 feet probably. blizzard conditions. couldn’t leave the house. this is all a lie. we seriously did get about 6 inches though – not too shabby for a pre-halloween storm.

and even though i survived my first true snow in a few years (dc and seattle snow doesn’t count), hats off to milo who not only experienced his first snow ever, but decided he loves playing in it (to the regret of his owner). it was deep enough (or maybe he’s just small enough), he’d step and his entire body would sink. it looked like a little toupee resting on the snow. then he’d fly out in one foul leap and sink in an inch further. he’s like a little kid – 3am rolls around and he’s waking me up with a “i really want to go play in the snow right now” lick. so, in honor of his first snow, i got him some snow gear. it was only appropriate. he thinks he’s all that in his little suit. he works it with the lady dogs
