We had our first snow of the season this morning. Calliope nearly knocked me off of my feet trying to get out the door and into the powder. Shortly after these shots were taken it rained and the snow was no more.

She is gorgeous and the snow shows her off so well

and evacuate right in the middle of the walkway! He always seemed to think that snow was a great opportunity to spread his droppings/drippings far and wide. When we had a huge blizzard in 1993 with a 32" snow storm, he had a great time swimming thru the snow. What a great boy he was.

pawprints in the snow!
