Sophie in the snow

Post by rosndognme »

I decided to take Sophie to the woods near our house to get some winter photos this afternoon. Walking an excited Retriever in the snow is one thing when you're well wrapped up, but trying to take photos and adjust a cold camera with no gloves and freezing fingers ... while picking up cold snow covered sticks to attract her attention was no easy job :)

When my fingers couldn't take it any more I decided to bring her back and give her a treat, but my fingers were so cold I ripped a new bag of treats wide open and they went all over the snow ... it was a race to see who could scoop them up fastest. I soon gave up picking up handfulls of snow with no gloves on and Sophie won :)

What did surprise me was I thought we had a white-ish coloured dog ... but she looks really brown against the snow :1960:

Love the photos. Sophie is having a whale of a time. They are just like children, show them a bit of snow, and they want to be out there. Ella spent ages last night just watching the flakes falling.....head moving up and down.....she looked so funny from behind :bounce:

One last photo. I wasn't sure whether to add this one because she looks quite scary - but she's just seen me pick up a stick and that makes her very excited :)
