Snow hiking
We had a great time snow hiking
First, we want to wish everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Lets make this the best year ever!!!
On Friday we went snow hiking in our favorite canyon. The road is never plowed, and we have gotten more than a foot of snow this past week. Walking on the packed snow is way better than walking on a wet or salty road. Plus, this is our favorite off leash place.
When we got to the canyon, we were greeted by about 30 wild turkeys. They are not very smart. They tried to walk up the road in front of the jeep. They finally realized this was a losing proposition, and flew into the bushes.
We got past the silly turkeys, parked and started our hike. It was mostly sunny, and a very nice day to be out. Especially after the bad weather we have been having.
Torrey had a blast in the deep snow. She would run and jump, and root through the deep powdery stuff.
Then she would have to stop and get the snow balls off the bottom of her feet. This girl needs some doggie boots.
We were both pooped afterwards. But that’s a good reason to be pooped. If we can get the RV out of the foot of snow, we will be heading south in the next day or two. So this might be our last snow hike for a while.
Do you like to play or walk in the snow?
Today is the Monday Mischief blog hop, join in the hopping fun!! It’s all about the fun!!
What fun!!! I like to walk in the snow but believe it or not, Dakota mostly likes to play in it but not walk in it. HAPPY NEW YEAR my friends!
Torrey and Dakota would have a blast together.
Roxy what a great dawg day that was…Iz never seen the snow stuff but you make it look like a whole lot of fun! Mom agrees that wild turkeys are silly birds but fun to watch…Happy New year to you and Torrey and your mom & dad!
Gizmo, you would love the snow. Just wear a coat to play, and it’s fun.
Wow, what fun. Can I come play in your snow? I’m fed up of my olympic swimming now..BOL
Have a wonderful new year..see ya in 2013 :) xxx00xxx
Mollie and Alfie
You are more than welcome to come visit anytime. Just bring jelly babies and Dolly mixture. BOL
tell your mom to get a turkey permit so we can have a turkey dinner next time. Wild turkey is yummy
You can try Musher’s Secret salve (or I recently heard regular old petroleum jelly may work) on Torrey’s feet before you go and you shouldn’t get snowballs sticking to them. Boots don’t work for Chester and Gretel so that is what I use.
Where are you guys heading to this time?
I’ll have to try that. We are leaving tomorrow for St. George, then down to Arizona. Can’t wait to get out of this cold and snow. I am not a fan of winter.
Hmmm…my Aunt winters in Arizona and I love the southwest and sun…. :)
Well then, I think you should come visit. We could hike the desert.
Happy New Year!
Travel safely and all the best for 2013!
Snow? What is snow?
Happy new year Roxy and Torrey! Travel safe. I hope you don’t meet more turkeys on the road, though what a great picture op that turned out to be :) x
It was a perfect photo op, mom couldn’t get her camera out fast enough.
Hey Roxy, Hey Torrey, Jet here. Hi Miss Mary.
Love your photos… as tropical K9s, we’re clueless on the white stuff. Torrey looks to be in her element (VBP). Roxy, love your coat… Travel safe.
Wishing you a happy, healthy and abundant new year.
Jet, you would have so much fun playing with Torrey in the snow. Happy New year to you guys too.
That looks like so much fun!!
Those are beautiful pictures. Snow is fun, but brown dawgs have to deal with snow balls collecting in their paws too. :) Have a safe trip south and Happy New Year to you!
She’s cute!! And smart. If our greyhounds got snow packed in their feet, they’d just stand and wait to be rescued … or maybe that’s actually smarter! We do refer to ourselves as their servants, and yeah, they seem to expect it. It’s what they’re used to, after all, as racing dogs.
Looks like a great place to walk, and for the dogs to have fun. We didn’t get any snow – we’re on the edge of the fens in England and snow is quite rare here. Winter is usually wet and misty with arctic blasts of wind that nearly take you off your feet!
Brrrrrr. Thanks for visiting my blog today and Happy New Year.
Oh, that is some good Monday Mischief! Rita’s never been in the snow. We need to take her. I bet she’d love romping around in it – once she got used to it…
She would have for sure.
I love wild turkeys….too cute!
Are you guys freezing in the RV with that cold weather?!? Heading south sounds like a really good idea – where are you planning to go next?
Always love to see dogs out loving the snow! Is that an Australian Shepard? Whenever I take my parents Australian Shepard out snowshoeing with us he has the same problem! He was the only dog I saw that had this problem until now!
I would have chased after those turkeys! We get LOADS of snow where I live in Canada. Right now it’s super cold outside (minus 17) but it feels colder because of the wind chill. So I don’t like being outside for long if we’re just hanging in the back garden. Usually I like running around in the snow. You guys look like you had lots of fun.
