Get ready...(for cuteness)

Piper experienced her first snow this morning.

And Karen and I (like all good puppy-mothers) photodocumented the event:

She was a little bit confused at first about all the fluff....

But, then she got into it....(see that tail?--full speed ahead!)

(*and please don't make fun of her dog-jacket. She's small, and gets cold...and she needs it!!)

You can't really tell...but she is fully airborne in this picture.

Look at that little puppy-tooshy!

All covered in snow!


(she was TOTALLY covered in snow-clumps and crystals when she got back inside...
so we had to give her a hot bath to defrost them all...)


isn't she just the cutest little pumpkin?

(*and like I said about the jacket: I usually am not a fan of dog-apparel...but it is NECESSARY, people: INSULATION!)

Oh, and do you see this weather report? Snow EVERY DAY.....for the ENTIRE WEEK.

we REALLY need to purchase a snow shovel.
ASAP.
