From my point of view, the only good thing about snow at this time of year is the moisture that it gives our forest. I know first hand that most of our secluded water holes used by our wildlife for drinking and bathing do not have water in them yet. So perhaps this storm will bring the water level up high enough to fill them.
Even though May snow is yucky, wet, and heavy, I still love getting the pups out to play in it.
And, R loves sprinting through snow like a pup. His sister is in the background, trying to catch up!
A May snowstorm is a good excuse for some snuggling, and our Black Dog is everyone's favorite snuggle bunny.
Even Hachi can snooze (briefly) when next to him.
I'm afraid that I ruined their snoozing bliss with the sound of my camera. The puppy eyes opened...
... and soon Hachi wanted to play. R is the most patient big brother that I can imagine.
In general, we have a very happy Black Dog on our hands!
I love your black dog as much as I love our black dog. but then I love Shyla and Hachi too. these photos are heartwarming
ReplyDeleteYou are just the bestest, R♥
ReplyDeleteWe will take snuggles over snow any day. You are such a sweet guy handsome R!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad about the snow since you need the water...
ReplyDeleteYour pack is lucky to be loved and understood by you!!
Hugs Cecilia
Your doggies are so beautiful!

BLK Dog,
ReplyDeleteYou Just Keep That Sniffer Wet As Treats Are Around Every Corner. You Amaze Me Daily And Your Character Lights Up The Room. Sleep Well And Thanx For Putting Up With All My Antics. You Are My Hero!!
Puppy Hachi
R is so handsome. We hope he can hang on to some of that vision for a long time. The pups here change whatever they are doing as soon as they see me with the camera.
ReplyDeleteYour dogs are so lovely and your thoughts about body language makes a lot of sense. And very interesting that Hachi sort of protests when he's not being understood.
ReplyDeleteMay snow showers fill me with gratitude even if I'm sick of the white stuff. May the forecast provide your watering holes with plenty of moisture. Ear scratches for all the doggos.
ReplyDeleteI feel your ambivalence about the snow - we continue to get it at the house in Breck, too. (Luckily, I'm not three to see it!) I'm sure I'll be thankful for the moisture when summer wildfire season is upon us. R is a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteI hope Hachi will soon learn the black dog is becoming different and needs to be treated differently than before. It seems so unfair that sweet R should have so many health problems. And wonderful that he still seems to adapt and be happy.
ReplyDeleteYour black dog is a sweetheart it is so sad when they lose their eyesight. We love the photos of the dogs in the snow they look like they are really enjoying it. Hachi sounds like a bundle of energy. Hugs and nose kisses for all from Chancy and me.
ReplyDeleteR sure is a sweetie. Shyla and Hachi are so lucky to have him as their big brother.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for making the best of the snow! I don't think I could take seeing any at this point, though some in our area had some in the last few days.
ReplyDeleteI also think more sensitive dogs tend to have problems with their siblings that have health issues. Luke had far more outbursts with Sheba when she had cancer than he ever did with any of the other dogs.
