Snow play

Late in the afternoon yesterday Katie and I went outside to play Frisbee in the snow.  Man what a fun time that was!  Here’s what the back yard looked like before we started to play:

She can hardly wait to get going.  Can you see her little pink tongue sticking out in anticipation?

And then she was off! Running and catching and bringing it right back so I could throw it for her again!

Sometimes she’d pick up the Frisbee and dump a whole load of fluffy snow into her face.  Didn’t slow her down though!

We had the best time!  Even when a noise distracted her she mostly stayed close and always came right back when I put on my school voice and demanded her to do a recall.   Even after she realized I hadn’t brought any treats with me.  I think next time I’ll take treats out and let her know I have them just to be sure since we don’t have a fenced back yard and I’m always a bit nervous.  Anyway, this is what the yard looked like after we finished playing.

She and I had a really good time.  Now she’s dozing in my reading chair, letting the Christmas tree lights mesmerize her as she daydreams about flying through the air and making that perfect catch.

Silly but very special girl.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

  1. How fun! Mom wishes I liked to retrieve more (ball, frisbee, stick, anything) so that I could get some exercise easy on her sometimes!

  2. Love the photo with the lights – hours of entertainment huh? Playing in the snow looks like a lot of fun. Mum has never taken me to snow cos the mountain is about 1.5 hours from here and I don’t really like the car. One of my brothers-before-me, Jellybean, was a Samoyed and he loved the snow, and half frozen rivers.

  3. Your yard looks just like ours now – we have all sorts of paths made that criss cross every which way. It sure looks like Katie loves the snow – we do too.

  4. Our yard is filled with snow right now. We’ll be heading out soon to make our own tracks.

    That last photo of Katie reminds me of Misty.
