Woof Woof xx

Hello there you lot! What a woofly day it is today. It’s lovely and bright and even though its a bit cold, it’s still ace weather for walking in – if you have the right equipment (more about that later). It hasn’t snowed in Haydock since Tuesday (5/01/2010)  but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere due to the overnight low temperatures.

So mum had girly belly waz this morning (don’t ask) so we all decided to go out for a lovely walk to take her mind off it. The other reason why we decided to go out was that mum has had some ice cleats delivered this morning!! Mum told me that ice cleats are like special spiky paws for human shoes which means that they don’t fall over in the ice and snow (like grandad). We had a lovely time on our walk and as you now by now – mum took millions of pictures… well a few anyway..

As you can seem from the pictures, we encountered ducks on our walk. Dad was a bit mean to them as he kept throwing them snowballs – but they thought it was bread and kept diving towards them, thinking they were something to eat!!! Funny, but a bit mean… naughty daddy!

When we finally got home, we had been walking for just over an hour and noticed that there were big old icicles on the windows and gutters of our house – how magical is that. Woof Woof xxx

Tractor

So we are in our 3rd snow day and today is the first time mum has left the house and gone any further than our street. It turns our that most of Haydock is still fairly snowed in and mum said that Tesco (a big dog and human food shop) and the chemist (the human medicine shop) were just still treacherous and completely rubbish – so she just gave up and came back.

I think mum & dad are both going to try and go to work tomorrow so I guess we will just have to see how that goes. We did have a spot of excitement today when a gritter  and tractor turned up, which we thought might be here to dig us all out, but it turns out that they just came to sort the school out – oh well, back to dancing in ice!! Woof Woof.

Well, I wish I had something to tell you about what was happening in Haydock today… oh yes

ITS SNOWING – REALLY, PROPERLY, NO WOOFING ABOUT, SNOWING!!!!

Here are some of my extended pack’s snow pictures!

So it seems the whole of the North West of England is on a “snow day” today as all the local schools are closed and both mum & dad are at home today. So that can only mean one thing – we all went for a walk in the very snowy snow! Woof Woof!

Now then, since Father Christmas got mum a video camera, you just know it was the first thing she grabbed when we left the house this morning – in fact, she nearly forgot me!! Here you go….

and of course, now snowy dogblog would be complete without dad juggling snowballs!!

Well, well, well – I have good news and bad news – well mostly GOOD news actually. Firstly, I have had an upset tummy again today, (I will spare you the details), but it is my own fault as I went rummaging in the bin and ate something I shouldn’t have….. But the good news is, is that I think I am feeling much better tonight so I should be fit for Christmas dinner etc.

Mum & dad have now officially broken up from work for Christmas and (dad in particular) couldn’t be any happier!!! Woof Woof. It’s is also doing lots of SNOWING still in Haydock – it looks so pretty – as usual mum was straight out there with her camera… here you go..

So, as far as Christmas goes,  our plans are as follows….
