"Huh?" "What do ya mean the snows not going to last!"
"Just go and play with your sister Freddie."
"Okay Momma." "Glorrrria!"
"Holy geez, Gloria!" What the heck are ya doing?"
Yes, even Gloria gets in her moods once in a while and Freddie doesn't know what to make of her.
I tried to encourage them to get as much play time in as they could in the snow since it was going to be 9 degrees C or about 50 degrees F. Soon the yard started to look like this.........
as things started to warm up. Then by mid afternoon yesterday........
.........THIS AGAIN!! And what does this spell? MUD!
If you look close at this picture of my lilac bushes you can see it has buds on it. Next is my Tiger Lilies.
They have started to pop out of the ground because they think it is spring!
So poor ole Freddie got to run free for a total of 1 1/2 days and now he's back to going out on a leash because our yard is once again a muck hole!! Gloria and Fred are so close any more that she actually stood by Freddie as he slunk back into a depression yesterday afternoon!
If anyone knows how to do a snow dance, please send instructions!!
I didn't know it only took a couple of days to snow and then it disintigrates just like that.
ReplyDeleteAww, Gloria's being a pal. That's so sweet of her.
I never knew who was older, by the way. Is it Freddy or Gloria?
Gloria is older. She will be 6 this June and Freddie will be 2 this April.
DeleteDoes Gloria lift her rear feet because they are cold?
ReplyDeleteI hope you soon have another batch of snow.
Goria will lift her feet sometimes when they are cold. But here she's in the middle of a pounce!
DeleteHi guys, we no how ya feel, our yard is melted and muddy too..it shouldnt be in january...We live in wisconsin and this never happens! Hugs♥ The emptynester spaniels
ReplyDeleteSnow sure does look like fun! Hope I get to see some someday!
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
Woof! Woof! 2 steps back turn around. 2 steps forward turn around ... Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteWe're doing the snow dance here in southern MO, too. We still haven't had any to play in! Woofs from Lucy, Jeffie and Rudy
ReplyDeleteLet's hear it for MO - I'm in Cape Girardeau with no snow; I moved here from MT, SD and MN - 17 years and I still crave snow. Been ready for it since September - Freddie, though it was fleeting, at least you had some! We have rain and mud w/o enough freeze to take care of the fleas and ticks :(.
DeleteLilies are my favorite flower - day lilies and irises :). I'm watching buds and new grass, too.
hehe, I don't envy you with your dogs and muddy backyard at a time like this!! ;) Cute pics! I'm so happy that I can finally pass an award on to you for a change!! The Liebster Blog Award (yes, you get yet another one!!) because I love your blog. Check out my blog to see!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh poor pups. Now I like the mud, and MOM tolorates it. I'll do a snow dance for ya. it worked for me this week.

Oh YES... MUDDDDDDDDDDDD it is sooooooo squishy and Soft under our paws. I have no idea WHY Peeps don't appreciate it the way WE do.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when it snows because the dog park becomes a mud wrestling wring two days later!
ReplyDeleteBring on the snow! It has been too warm. We have to take snow dance lessons!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Gloria and Fred can teach us.
Nina, Myshka, Sasha, Betsy, Lucy, Phoebe and Lily
You could move to Alaska. Hehe! Deccy x
ReplyDeleteUgh, I've been tryin my snow dance for months and it's not working

Our snow is now Smud too! Mommy isn't thrilled cause I still can't have a bath. Once the stitches are out, maybe we can sneak one in .

Poor Freedie, he is having such a hard time this winter!

That is exactly the same progression that took place at our house yesterday. In the morning we had s snow covered lawn and deck, but by 5PM the snow was gone and the entire yard was full of mud... which of course was eventually brought right into the house!
ReplyDeletemud. mud. i love mud. absolutely positively crazy bout mud.
ReplyDeleteWe hope you guys get lots more of that white stuff
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Darn mud! Ruining all of the fun. It just isn't fair. Where is the snow?
ReplyDeleteOh noes! Where'd the snow go?! :( It's definitely not here in the south.
ReplyDeleteWoofs & hugs, <3
~Bailey (Yep, I'm a girl!)
Aw what a bummer that the snow didn't last long. Now Mom has LoTS of mud and cleaning to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by our blog too!

At least you're enjoying the snow in the mean time. That sure does look like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteLook at your big ears flopping around! How cute!!
ReplyDeleteXOXO ~ Cape Cod Crew
I'm just as disappointed. I'm used to 4 months of snow followed by 2 months of mud. But it looks like we went right to mud. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat sweethearts!
ReplyDeleteAww, look how much fun they're having! We don't have any snow down here in Florida, otherwise I'd send you some more!
ReplyDeleteI agree...this weather is crazy!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos... I especially love the first one!
ReplyDeleteI'm good at dancing - well, jumping - so I'll do a snow dance for you. It hasn't worked for me though. We haven't had snow since early December. My person says she wishes you could send smells through blogs when your lilacs start blooming.
ReplyDeleteMy Vickie and I have to come by as often as possible for our "Basset Fix" WE just love watching you play and love the close ups of your faces. So to cheer some of you up, we are off to do a "Snow Dance" for you.
ReplyDeleteWe went through the same thing, except our yard turn in a huge lake! Then that same night we got 6 inches of snow! Crazy! Crazy!
ReplyDeleteLove those flying ears!!
I agree with Bert - you have the most expressive faces that I've ever seen. I come by for my evening smile! Sorry about the muck. We're dancing here for you.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were going to say that more of your fence fell down. Ha, ha.
