*Riffing off of the Rush song: By-Tor and the Snow Dog. The first time I listened to this album was when I was introduced to tequila shots, at a friend’s house. I don’t listen to this album anymore nor have I done tequila shots since (Does this even need further explanation as to why?!? 🤣).
This album came out in 1975 so that means I was tossing back tequila at 16 years old 🥴. Kids of today, don’t follow my lead. Do better!
It snowed this past week.
The sun tried desperately to break through.Bowser says: This is snow problem for me, Oma!The snow was so heavy, it bent over all the bare trees.It was a gorgeous day to be out in the falling snow.Bowser: There’s horse poop under here somewhere. I remember from yesterday. I want a poopsicle! (Spoiler: I didn’t let him dig any poop up.)Bowser quickly doubled his weight with the snow he was carrying on his legs 😉.It didn’t seem to affect his enjoyment of the day at all, though.Nope, not one bit!Bowser wasn’t the only one enjoying our snowy day outing.
We hope you are enjoying your weather, whatever it happens to be.
Hi Deb – too good to see … lovely – thanks for sharing with us .. Sheree says Bowser in his element – I’d say both of you … enjoy while the white stuff lasts – cheers Hilary
He really is in his element! Maybe because snow is relatively rare here? It’s easy to have fun in the snow when you know it doesn’t last. Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
Ah, Rush! I haven’t listened to them while doing tequila shots ever…don’t think I’ll start now. 😂 It’s a great band though. My favorite song by them is Time Stand Still.
It looks gorgeous there. We have a ton of new snow too and more on the way. Stay warm!
From sun to snow in a few short days. I’m not sure I would have enjoyed that snow so soon after your vacation. But I can see how Bowser’s enjoyment would be catching.
Well, if I had a choice I’d rather be wading through sand and waves than snow. 😉 But when Bowser loves it so much, it motivates me to get out there. And I was happy I was out and enjoying the beauty of the day with him, instead of staying in and missing out. Thanks, Jean 💕
Good old Rush. I didn’t discover tequila until I was older. At 16 my crowd was more about Ripple wine & Hairy Buffalo parties. Would not recommend either to anyone, at any age.
My underage drinking had a theme to it, usually. When I was reading about Janis Joplin’s life, I had to try Southern Comfort; fantasy books? Mead. Etc. I forget what triggered tequila with salt and lemon, but I mentioned it casually to my friend group and we were off to the races, so to speak. Do you sometimes wonder how we survived to adulthood, Ally? I do. Thanks 💕
They are some serious snowballs!!! I try to knock off as many as I can but he needs to be hosed down in the shower to get rid of them all. Thanks, Joanne 💕
Apparently not! I watch him closely when we are out and even when loaded down with snow on his legs, he is so busy running and leaping he stays plenty warm. The only shivering he does is when I am putting on the harness before we even go out, and that is really just Bowser vibrating with excitement. Thanks, Janis 💕
He sure knows how to tell me that he does want to go out. When he comes to my house, he sits down in front of the harness and leash hanging in the entryway and looks at it, looks at me, looks at it again, looks even more expectantly and pointedly at me 🤣. Communication is not a problem, at all!
OMG – tequila shots! I can’t remember when I last had one…but then again, do I really want to conjur up that memory! 😀
Those are absolutely awesome shots of Bowser in the snow. He looks super excited about the snow — and to have Oma back home!
I can honestly say I’ve drank a lot of things, but I’ve never had a Shot of anything. 😛
That is snow pretty. And it looks cold too! What a difference for you…swapped out your flip flops for boots. Does Bowsers feet get cold or does he have snow much fun he doesn’t care?
I know down here, we have to be careful with dogs paws on hot pavement. Quite the opposite of you.
I watch Bowser carefully when we are out, for signs that he or his tootsies are freezing. Sometimes ice can develop between their pads and that makes for painful walking – I’ve had dogs previously who would limp or raise a leg, and then I would have to remove the ice chunks so they could keep walking. Have not seen that happen as yet, with Bowser. But man, can he collect snow on his legs!!! He seems to be having so much fun that he doesn’t care about them and, if I can get him to slow down I try to pull the biggest ones off…he just accumulates more right away but it makes ME feel better 🤣. Thanks, Suz 💕
Bowser in his element
Definitely! Thank you, Sheree 💕

You are most welcome, Hilary! Thank you 💕
This is a ‘like’ … don’t reply! cheers H
So much snow here now. Our Schnauzer Zoe loves running in the snow. But she hates walking in the rain.
Great images. Anita
I had a mini Schnauzer that absolutely hated the rain too. Bowser doesn’t seem to mind a light rain. Thanks, Anita 💕
Yes Zoe doesn’t like the rain. She loves running around in the snow.
That little cutie looks like he’s in his element!
He really is in his element! Maybe because snow is relatively rare here? It’s easy to have fun in the snow when you know it doesn’t last. Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
Great pics of two fellow lovers of freshly fallen snow! Enjoy!!
Beautiful scenery to enjoy a walk and letting little schnauzer have some fun 😍
He was having SO MUCH FUN! Thank you, Carol 💕
I’m not familiar with early Rush, but may I suggest a song by my favorite Canadian band that may be appropriate for Bowser… On the Loose by Saga. 😉
A truly great song by an underrated Canadian band. Thanks for reminding me about them! Wind Him Up is one of my favourites by Saga. Thanks, Bobi 💕
Thank you, Jane 💕 We are enjoying the hell out of the snow while it lasts.
Ah, Rush! I haven’t listened to them while doing tequila shots ever…don’t think I’ll start now. 😂 It’s a great band though. My favorite song by them is Time Stand Still.

Thank you, Deborah 💕 The power is staying on 🤞 and we are staying warm. Same to you!

Sure paints a pretty picture, doesn’t it? Love the shots of Bowser frolicking through the snow. Pure joy on his face!💕
Absolutely! He literally shakes with excitement when I put his harness on to take him out for a walk. Thanks, Lynn 💕
Hahaha! Now I know what you mean about the snowballs on his legs! 🤣
They are some serious snowballs!!! I try to knock off as many as I can but he needs to be hosed down in the shower to get rid of them all. Thanks, Joanne 💕
Now, that’s a snow day! Thanks for sharing your photos.
Wait till you see next week’s photos! Thanks, Suzanne 💕
I love these pictures of pure joy! It’s hard to imagine, though, that he is warm enough… doesn’t he feel the cold at all?
Apparently not! I watch him closely when we are out and even when loaded down with snow on his legs, he is so busy running and leaping he stays plenty warm.

I’m sure he’d “tell” you if he didn’t want to go outside. Clearly, that’s not the case 🙂
He sure knows how to tell me that he does want to go out. When he comes to my house, he sits down in front of the harness and leash hanging in the entryway and looks at it, looks at me, looks at it again, looks even more expectantly and pointedly at me 🤣. Communication is not a problem, at all!
Now that is snow!
Wait until next week’s pictures!!! Thanks, Kate 💕
Oh no!
OMG – tequila shots! I can’t remember when I last had one…but then again, do I really want to conjur up that memory! 😀

We have been having a blast in all of this crazy snow. The roads might be shit, but the landscape is so beautiful! Thanks, Donna 💕

It makes sense that he would tell you if he were too uncomfortable…it appears that he is full-on JOY while outside with you. 🙂
