Angus is getting ready for our first big snow this year. He just checked it out with a couple of inches on the ground. We played ball and had fun.

Expecting 10-12 inches by the morning. I'll be shoveling out a bathroom spot him for sure!

That's a pile of snow in such a short time! Keep warm.

Time to put your emergency Cairn Snowball Removal System into effect!

We are close to a foot of snow by now. I can't believe the amount of snowballs all over Ivy's legs. Ivy is very angry because I won't allow her onto the couch while she is all wet. I actually just kicked her off and she huffed and stormed into the bedroom. Just like the kids-but when will they learn I don't really care when they get mad at me, roll their eyes, huff and stomp out of the room

Love that cartoon image. A little new snow here - but it's icey and snow packed.

We had two inches on Christmas Eve. Angus loved it. Two days later we had another twelve inches. Angus was very surprised and not sure what to do. He is only 11 inches at the shoulder.

After our driveway was plowed he played but somewhat cautiously. As time goes on he's getting used to it. He hasn't gone crazy like some of the other dogs I have owned in the past. He does enjoy shoving his head down in the snow especially in the deer tracks.

A note re bathroom duties. He waited till he was ready to burst to go on the driveway. This morning he went (jumped) out in to the deep snow and made his own spot turning round and round and widening out the space. At no time did he use the nice little area I dug out for him!! Now he has a nice little bathroom that is designed the way he wants it - like everything else in his life

Here he is on his first outing.

Typical, headstrong Cairn! LOVE the huge trees in your backyard.

We've only gotten a few coatings this year so far. Gavin loved it when the huge flakes were coming down -- really energized him! Tomorrow we'll get maybe 3 inches. Just enough to make everything look pretty for a while, but not much of a nuisance. And I can throw some snowballs for the boys.

Beautiful pictures of Angus and scenery. Your potty story is so typical - we also got some snow and Bailey held out until today, ohly after Radar showed him how's it done. Snowballs are back, the towel is now hanging near the back door to clean up them up.

I love your cartoon image too.

Another day another (lesser) snowfall.

We say cairns are flexible and adjust. That's the case with Angus! He's landed on planet snow and he loves it.

Today not cautious anymore. Dived into the snow. Chased his ball excitedly, leaping and pouncing, and dug down for it in deep snow.

He fixed up his bathroom some more and uses it readily.

It's a perfect winter day out there not too cold, snow gently falling..........

Especially for THIS guy... could be a Cairn under there, who knows??

The picture that Zekey's mom posted is EXACTLY how Ivy looks every time she comes in from the frozen tundra... She hates-HATES the little snowballs on her body. We laugh at her each and every time....

Oh my goodness! That picture is SO wild. Fury is our first small dog and so I was worrying about her and the elements but it sounds like (& looks like) it won't slow her down any. We don't typically get a lot of snow though...just rain. Cute pics.
