Snow Play!

Yesterday was a glorious snow day. Shyla and I played on the trails. In the distance in the photo below, you can see the ski slopes where most people were playing.
We played on the deserted trails. Shyla had absolutely boundless energy for romping in the snow.
Seriously, at every opportunity, she looked like this...
Snow stuck to her snout all morning long from porpoising through the snow. And, when I called her, she used the packed paths to sprint at top speed to me. Shyla is so totally at home in our mountains...
In the midst of Shyla's happy romping, I stopped to dream of the Columbine seeds lying below the layer of snow in an aspen grove on our land. I dream of Columbine flowers blooming there someday.

Toward the end of our time in the forest, the sun started to heat up the "snow bombs" hanging from the pine boughs.
As they heated up, this would happen. Occasionally, Shyla and I would get showered by a falling snow bomb.
All in all, it was a glorious day. Shyla's happiness was contagious!
I thought of our fun today, as I took care of grown-up stuff - that nasty thyroid biopsy. It was nowhere near as much fun as our snow day yesterday! Now, I wait for results - but I am not the kind of person to let worry stop me from having fun with our Duo.

    I love Shyla's snowy snout! Hope the biopsy results are good (not sure whether you are hoping for positive or negative results).

    Oh Shyla, you look like you are having SO MUCH FUN!!! Most of our snow has melted and what's left isn't so pretty anymore. I just love these pictures!

    Your pal, Pip

    Wonderful pictures, and Shyla girl is just a delight to see having her fun!

    On Saturday we woke up to heavy snow, with every branch of every tree and bush loaded with snow. It was beautiful until the wind came up and then it was like another snowstorm!

    Cheers and hugs,

    Jo, Stella and Zkhat

    I'm just catching up on more than a week of blogposts, and find so much has been happening in your world! Great pictures, especially the ones of the two beautiful pups together. And the bobcat mama and her growing-up son - fantastic! My fingers are crossed for the news you most want to hear on your test results. Meanwhile, more snow and more romping ahead, I betcha! :)

    We hear a lot of people say snow it's their pups paws, sometimes causing bleeding. Does this ever happen to Shyla?

    If our snow were as pretty as yours, I would get a lot more excited about it! lol Right now we're getting lots of rain that's washing all of our snow away. I'm ready for a little spring green here, but when I see your pictures, I do long for a little of that pretty snow! I think Kuster does, too!

    Shyla, I got to go to the beach yesterday for the first time! I ran on the sand and the water like you get to in the snow! It was glorious! I was a tired boy last night and I didn't get in any trouble at all! Please give your mom an extra kiss from me.
