Muku & Nome Enjoy the Snow

I am a couple days late with this blog post. Nome and Muku's families got snow before we did but I admit - I was having way too much fun with the camera and our snow to get theirs posted.
Hi,
Winter has arrived a bit earlier than usual here in Vancouver, and we had our first snowfall of the year yesterday (if you can count a few centimetres as a snowfall!). Both Muku and Ben were raring to go outside and play...even though it was only 7:30am, and I think we woke up all of our neighbours with all the hooting and hollering. Here's the photos of Muku and Ben playing in the snow together.
who has the longer tongue?
Hi all,
Kay Lee, here is a picture from last night for fun. This was at the end of our nighttime walk and playtime in the snow and on the streets. No cars and such a beautiful snowy night.

So great to see your chinooks in the snow and Muku! Muku and this whole litter just look so much alike. Nome is have a blast in the snow. I kept trying to make a snow man or structure in our yard yesterday and he had so much fun jumping on it, biting it and destroying it. Like any toddler really.

Nome lifted his leg to pee for the first time a few days ago. He only does it for trees. In our yard he still pees just standing there. I thought he'd stay a toddler for ever but I guess not.

Last night for the snow walk we rigged up a tank top of mine and put two collars on it one near his front chest and legs and one on the mid-back - so that there was no pressure on his neck and then clipped on his leash and he and I pulled my daughter on her sled down our mild hill. He also pulled my son on his snow board down the hill...he loved it. I got him going so that it wouldn't hurt him and he kept them going easily. Just a couple of times to see how he and the kids liked it. they all did - no surprise. Happy winter to all!!!
