Charlie's first snow!

We were actually excited to wake up to 3" of snow in Utah this morning! :clappurple: :clappurple: It meant we were home for CHARLIE'S FIRST SNOW!! I was afraid it would happen on a weekday so I'd have to call in "sick" so I could enjoy watching him. Instead, it happened on a Sunday when we have 8:30 church! (More than one way to get everyone up and moving early!! :) )

We waited until everyone was up and dressed before letting he and Libby out of their "bedroom." He went to the sliding glass doors and looked out on the deck like "What in the heck is that??" When we were all ready, with the camera, we let him out. He took a step out into it and jumped back; then another couple of steps and back; finally Bob had to go down off the deck before he'd venture out. He got to the edge of the grass and hit the brakes. Libby, who hates snow but knows it's temporary (we'll quickly let her back in after a potty break...) ran out. He took a couple more steps and then let it rip!!!!! I've posted a video (our first) on YouTube at this link. We apologize in advance for video of the morning potty break but when you gotta go, you gotta go...even if it is freezing cold on weird white stuff!!

I also posted pictures of the snowballs on his legs and feet. When we came back in to finish getting dressed, he stood at the door and barked wanting to go back out! We locked them in the garage while we went to church (darn those 8:30 meetings!!) but let him out when we got home. He's been outside most of the time since we got home and is LOVING it!!!!! It's obvious we are going to have to figure out a "cute" way to have towels waiting for him by the door when he comes in soaking wet.

ahhh I fell sorry for you (not) actually - yes snow for christmas and only christmas would be a nice plan :lol:
OMG, how cute!! Looks like he really enjoyed it, though very confused by it all at first. :lol:
Haha so cute!!! I love Charlie's hair- it looks like a romper suit :lol:

We keep a pile of towels by the back door too.
Too cute!! I love how he puts his nose right down in it and "plows."
I think Libby was telling Charlie "it is cold out here you fool, go potty and let's go back in the house. My feet are freezing." lol

I really don't miss snow. 8)
I miss seeing snow....
Just watched your cute video. I loved when it snowed so early up there and the dogs first reactions to it. I lived in Huntsville Utah and boy when it snowed it snowed!
That video is so good. I don't know what Charlie and Libby were saying but Summer was running round the front room joining in, she has now shut up but the yorkie is on back of the sofa barking out the window in case they are in the street. The dog next door wanted to play as well. TFS

I think that is exactly what was going on. Firsts are awesome. I am so glad you were home to share the moment with them. I have a feeling it might take a while before Charlie is bored with the snow. :lol:
