Its Winter again and of course the dogs just can't wait until the snow starts flying, whether its chasing snowballs or taking a self inflicted white wash the dogs just can't get enough of the fluffy white stuff. 

Just another great time at Desert Dog.

Thats Wally just being weird.

It's a Bird.....It's a Plane.....It's.... me on the roof throwing snowballs.

 

 

 

Jack enjoys eating the snow.

 

What are you looking at?

 

Yummy.

 

Porter & Maci gone wild.

 

Where do you think your going?

 

River and Porter (Bizzaro River) just can't get enough of each other, specially in the snow.

 

This is Max....he just loves to lay in the snow.  To each their own I guess.

 

Thats Mesa Phatting out in the snow as we say.

 

Lyle eagerly awaits the next snowball.

Santa has just made his first annual stop to Desert Dog to spread wisdom, drink hot cider, deliver presents and of course pose for pictures with the dogs.

Here's a few....

One of the many small things that makes Desert Dog so unique is the fact that the whole roof drains into the outside yard giving the dogs an additional yet simple form of entertainment.  A couple times a year we get a good storm that will flood the outside yard and turn the dogs into crazed maniacs, have a look.

 

There's just something about bad weather just drives them crazy.

 

Yes! we were actually trying to fill the kiddie pool with that garden hose during the rainstorm.

 

Ginger takes a break while Guni eagerly awaits.

Griffin's the skinny Wheaton Terrier blur in the middle.  He wouldn't really slow down enough to get a clear picture.

 

 

One of Blue's many trips back and forth down the middle where it's deepest.

 

Ummmm yaaahhhh, I'm not really sure what he's doing.

After 4 years and 500,000 piles of poop we finally decided its time to replenish the pea gravel in the outside yard.  Its just bringing back such fond memories of back aches, sore elbows, blisters and much more pleasantries that come with spreading a dump truck sized load of gravel over 2,000 square feet of asphalt.  

The dogs are dirty we are dirty they're tired we are tired, but in the end its just not that bad because the dogs truly love it and there's something about a huge load of gravel that makes them break out in crazy chases, king of the hill matches and other lunatic behavior that keeps them happy and keeps us laughing.

 

One of Gingers many trips up and down the hill.

 

Morgan really tires after pushing most the dogs off the top of the hill but he just couldn't get his admirer Ginger to leave his side.

 

Guni thinks that its his pile of gravel.

 

 

New comer Matt Damon has no problem acting cool on top of the gravel, how could you not with a name like that.

 

 

Marley being a spazz on the gravel

 

Who knew just a plain ole pile of gravel could be so dirty and fun.

 

More pics to come!!!!
