Walkies in the Snow!

Yep!  It's mid May and it SNOWED!

And the weird thing about it is that it's PINK!

Look at all of the stuffs!

We even tried to make some of them yellow...

At least this pink snow isn't slippery like the white stuff!

Mom says that this snow doesn't fall from the sky... just from trees... who knew???

It doesn't taste as good as the other snow...

It's all just too strange for me...

I'm going home and having a nap!

Spring has Arrived... Again!

Just a few days ago, our street looked like this but what with Victoria being Victoria...

We are pretty much back to normal with the green grass taking over once again!

There's still some areas with snow but we are doing our part by leaving pee-mail there to help it melt.

and we are seeing some weird snow circles...

And look at this!  The crocus has survived!  Amazing!

This is a fantastic omen because the annual Victoria Flower Count starts tomorrow.

We'll be able to count these flowers numerous times so that we can say we've seen 30,000 blooms (10,000 for each of us!)

So for the next week, I'll be sitting outside looking for flowers to count...

I wouldn't want to miss any that might pop up suddenly!

Saturday Snow Report!

Hey all!  Thought I'd check in with you and let you know that the snow is STILL here!

Worse yet they are predicting more today.  Then we will be in a warming trend with rain starting tomorrow and going through most of next week.  We should be back to normal west coast weather shortly.

I'm reporting today from the backyard and as you can see mom's gnomes, rabbits and rooster are all okay!

Pippen is still in the house... can you hear him crying?  He doesn't like the backyard for some reason so let's head out to the front and end our report there.

Some icicles on the tree outside our front door.

Here I am in my favourite spot outside at the end of our walk.

I sit there all the time cuz I like watching that house across the street.  The one with the white door...  that's where my friend Shelby lives.  She growls at me when I try to give her kisses so I know she really likes me!

There's Pippen, takin' care o'business...

and it looks like he's found some grass!

So there you have it folks.  Snow is still here after four days but it is melting and should be gone by Monday.

Fingers crossed it will be!

Snow is Still Here!

Mom managed to get to work yesterday so we didn't get to have a snow day.  When she got home we went outside to inspect the grounds.

The white stuff was everywhere!

It was so deep that all we could do was follow paths already made by others.

It wasn't even really cold out but mom said that in the morning all the slushy snow would be ICE and would be hard to walk on.

Some parts didn't have very much...

Check this out... see my relentlessly huge water dish on our back patio?  Mom took that picture before she went to work.  And then...

when she got home...  it was almost covered!

Here's our patio furniture in the morning...

and then again when mom got home.  Yikes!

Here's our big tree...  He looks a bit cold!

And last but not least... Pippen was growing snowballs on his legs!  He wasn't very happy about the situation!

Snow Done Gone...

Well, we had another snowfall on Thursday and since then it's been warming up and it's pretty all gone now...

Here's a short video of our walkie on Thursday... we were out for about 45 minutes!  And at the end we did a little bit of zoomie action!



Hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving Holiday!

Wordless Wednesday - Snow Edition

SNOW DAY!!!

It is crazy out there today!  Enough so that mom got to leave work early... her normal 15 minute drive home took almost an hour!

As soon as she got home, we went for a walk so here are some of our pictures of a crazy snow day in Victoria, British Columbia!

Snow Zoomies!

Everything looks different with snow on it!

You can even see the blowing snow!

More zoomies!

And some more!

It looks like we live in some arctic place... brrr...

And who wears loafers out in the snow??? 

Our Mom!  And now she's complaining that her toes are frozen!

This stuff is kind of fun!

The forecast says that it'll be normal by Thursday which means 7 above and raining!

What the ????

When we got up this morning there was a bunch of white stuff on the ground...

And the water in my Mango water bowl is mushy!

Sure... some of you might be laughing at me... but out here on the westcoast, we don't see this stuff very much!  And it's still cold and windy out there with a chance of more snow on the way!

I wonder how much more we'll be getting?  And will Pippen and I be able to do those snow zoomies we are always reading about?

In the meantime, we are off to bed for our early morning nap...  you know... to prepare for our mid morning nap!
