Still Snowing, Whoopee!

Woo hoo, it's STILL snowing really hard here. I think I am driving mum & dad a bit crazy as I am wanting to go outside every 10 minutes to check the snow's still there. Sorry, but it's just so exciting!

As promised, mum took me to Seven Fields yesterday afternoon for a romp. Paddy the Poodle's mum said she was busying clearing out the garage so he couldn't come, boo. Mum said Aunty Kim is clearing out the garage so she can set up her grooming table to give me a haircut on Saturday, double boo!


I think I told you all about Seven Fields before. It's a huge expanse of fields which are all green belt & cannot be built on. It's hard to explain just how big the area is, but believe me, there's simply LOADS of space to run around. I am really lucky to have this right on the doorstep, so insist that mum & dad bring me here regularly to make proper use of it!


Aha, so this is where the local squirrels have been hiding out. They obviously decided not to come to MY garden anymore, ha!

Before we got going with the crazy running around in the snow, mum wanted to take photos of me looking rugged & handsome in the snow. I obliged & posed nicely - not!

Is this my best side...?

Or is this better...?

I am training for the world record for snow eating. I must have eaten kilos of the stuff today. I made so much yellow snow as a result!

Yum, yum, yum. I know it's only frozen water, but it's just soooooooooo good!

To see why I look so shattered in this photo & why mum had one frozen hand by this point in the afternoon, see the video below, tee hee hee!

I have realised the point of snowmen. They are excellent stick dispensers. There are now lots of one armed snowmen on the fields of Swindon as I casually grabbed an arm from almost every one that I passed.

This was definitely a boy snowman. Don't look at him if you are easily offended! See how I am looking away in shock.

To protect other doggies & small children from seeing the rude snowman, I did the decent thing & ate his boy bits! All gone, much better.

There are still some pretty decent sized sticks hiding beneath the snow, you've just got to know where to look & have a good nose to sniff them out.

Whoa, those are some BIG snowballs. Hope no-one throws one of those at me!

This was the coolest snowman that we saw today. He only seems to have one arm, but I am NOT GUILTY in this case!



See how fast I can run even in the slippery snow, whee!



And this might explain the tired photo above & mum's freezing cold hand (sorry mum, but it was such good fun!)


Daddy made me my own giant snowball when he got home. I was more interested in eating more snow though! Sorry it's sideways on, dopey mum!





We were out for 2 1/2 hours, phew!

Wow those pictures sure are swell.
You got lots and lots of snow and such pretty snowmen (except that one without pants - tsk, tsk).

Is it cold out - We mean really cold out or is it pleasant?

Loui (and his mum!) said...

What a saucy snowman....did you see him playing with snowballs too?? I just love to eat the snow too and always beg for an ice cube when I hear anyone with the ice tray.

Chelsea said...

Oscar, I love the snow too!
Problem is it is so cold here. I have hair, not fur so I can't take the cold for too long.
Doesn't stop me from trying to get Mama to let me out every ten minutes like you.

Huskee and Hershey said...

Hi Oscar,
You looked like you enjoyed yourself soooo much!! Mum and I loved all your pics.. you look so handsome! (Can you send me some snow??)

Hammer said...

Hi Oscar

Wow, the snow looks so much fun. I've only just learned about water because I've never been to the beach before. But the snow looks even more fun.

My mum is happy to hear about Seven Fields. There is too much natural space being built on in too many parts of the world, and if this keeps going, there won't be any space left for animals and humans who love animals.

Thank you very much for your Birthday wishes and for caring about Beau.

It's great to meet you.

My mum keeps apologising because she's been very busy but she is going to try even harder to help me talk more to friends like you.

Love from your Aussie friend, Hammer
