It’s always fun to watch dogs in snow deeper than their bellies.  Sparky does that leaping run, so he doesn’t have to bulldoze his way through the snow.  I can’t tell if he enjoys it, or is just getting on with all the things he has to investigate and urinate on. 

There are times when Sparky just isn’t into it.  Maybe he’s been lounging by the fire, but has to be taken out before I leave the house.  Or maybe I’m just putting this on Sparky, and I’m the guy who doesn’t like trudging through the snow.  Either way, after plowing the driveway, I plowed a path through the yard, orchard, woods and church parking lot. 

The powdery snow plows easily since it hasn’t melted and it’s supposed to snow for a few more days.  I did the entire loop. 

It wasn’t difficult, but when finished, it seemed like I might be turning into one of those people who pampers their dog.

But seriously, look at this mutt.  He’s just too cute.
