Yes, for a while.

Until it becomes a puddle on the rug. (And with a puppy in the house, a puddle on the rug is not a good thing.)

Love it – ‘it followed me home’.

Who’s keeping who? I think it’s keeping Sirius.

That’s adorable!

Only until Calvin shows up. Then, let ’er ZOOM!!

He looks so much like Stella here.

If it doesn’t melt, you can keep it.

New snow is an immersive experience for the pup at heart.

Ha! Nice!

snowbuddy…

Wait till it turns to slush

Sirius is such a happy go lucky pup! I love him!

Let the snowball shenanigans begin!

I’m jealous! According to the local weather guy, only 13% of the lower 48 has snow cover, and it’s mostly in the mountains. We’re expecting a high temperature of 60° on Christmas day.

If Sirius picked up a marshmallow, I want to see his antics trying to eat it. I am assuming it’s a snowball on his tail, and that can be a quick drink later on. It’s so cute! Wherever he goes, it does follow him. Dog logic.

He obviously takes after Stella!

Great fun – Wonderfully Illustrated

Our new pup Reuben just discovered snow dingle balls. Not a fan so far.

Friend got their first dog ever, a puppy, just before a heavy snow. They were trying to teach the dog fetch with a stick. I made a snowball and threw it and the dog went right after it, and when he picked it up in his mouth it crumbled. He and I played that game for a little. Then his people tried to chase him to put him on the leash to go home, and he ran away. I called his name and started running away from him and he caught up. The next day his people were playing with him as I taught them and they too ran away to get him to come. This is why I have cats who stay inside. Smarter than the average human.

Don’t be too disappointed when it melts, Sirius!

A ball and a tail to chase, this is going to be a great day!

Yes, you may.
