What do you mean?  Of course dogs can read and we like to look at the pictures too!  Isn’t that right?  I’m sure dogs can read.  Yeah, we can read.  What? No???

We have some crazy weather here in Denver.  The sun came out after our most recent snowstorm and the snow melted so fast that the next day you couldn’t tell there had been all that snow the previous day.  What a difference a day makes!

Just when it feels like spring and it’s nice and warm, it snows overnight.  What does that mean for us Scotties?  More opportunities to root around with our snoots in the snow.  I honestly can’t say that that’s a bad thing!

One way to tell when it’s spring and Easter is on its way is when the Peeps return to the stores every year.  What started out as hand-made marshmallow chicks and bunnies has grown into many tasty varieties of Peeps and all kinds of Peeps toys and Peeps themed household items.

Of course, Peeps candy is not something healthy for dogs to eat, but we can sure enjoy playing with a plush Peep toy!

 

Frosty Scottie Games (a poem by Riley)

 

Ho ho ho, we got more snow!  The white stuff’s back, so out we go

To plow our paths around the yard and hop and chase and play real hard.

 

We Scotties aren’t exactly tall, but in the snow we have a ball

By tunneling and and making tracks.  We love the snow and that’s the facts!

 

But after we’ve had snowy fun we come inside, ’cause we are done

With cold adventures, though they’re great, the toasty fireplace awaits

 

To melt the snowballs in our hair before we snooze without a care.

But yet the snow still calls our names for more fun frosty Scottie games!

 

Hats are cool!  Some days a good hat can just make your day.  A hat doesn’t have to be functional or be practical–it can simply make you feel  stylin’!  A good hat can reflect your personality or give you the appearance of someone completely different.  Hats can actually communicate a lot.  Yep, hats are cool!

Just when we had some nice warm weather to melt most of last week’s snow (except for the huge drifts), here it comes again!  We Scotties were enjoying actually walking on grass again out in the backyard and all that snow left the ground nice and wet for easy hole digging.  However, as of last night, the white stuff was back and we’re on Scottie snow plow duty again.  Even worse (or better, depending on how you look at it), we could get snow three more times this week!  Not only did the snow come again, but it’s coming again and again and again!

What?!  Did you say we need dog food?  What are you waiting for?  Let’s go to the store!!!

Even the Scots are Irish today!  Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ?

So we had the fourth biggest blizzard in Denver’s history over the last two days.  Yep, we’re number four!  Our suburb had over 30 inches of snow and we had drifts in our yard over four feet tall.

We Scotties plowed a path across the deck, down the steps, and across the yard to a spot that was sheltered by a big blue spruce tree and every time that we went outside, our one little path was surrounded by walls of snow.  When we tried to extend our path, we had to make U turns, because we found that the snow was so deep, we would get stuck.

Fortunately, the sun came out with a vengeance today and melted a lot of the snow and we Scotties were able to make several more paths around the yard, but we still have some huge drifts that are going to take awhile to melt.

What does that much snow accumulation leave us with?  Some serious patches of mud, so there will be some muddy Scottie paws in the next few days.  I suspect that there will be some serious floor cleaning in somebody’s future!
