Snowman & his best friends

Walking around the neighborhood, I spotted this snowman and his two snow dogs! After all, a dog is a man's best friend.

Snow dogs! It never crossed my mind to make one, but what a great idea.
My last opportunity for such fun was in 2002 in Switzerland. It snowed at night so we volunteers at the contemplative monastery were out at 10 p.m. trying to roll the snow while maintaining the required silence. Instead of a snowMAN we had to build a snowNUN, complete with long blue cape.
The sisters discovered her at the gate next morning and joked that a new novice had come.

I'm afraid of bringing these pups into the house. I think they would make puddles.

Even snow dogs need walkies, duh!

Very cute. Ha, ha, to Brattcat! I'd wonder what to feed the dogs. But you would have no problem, 'cause if there's one thing you know about (and I think there is just this one thing) it is food!

Oh, by the way, it's going to hit 70 degrees today here.

Thought you'd like to know.

Man's best friend? I have a feeling that some imaginative kids got into the act, too.

Whoever built this even captured the motion of dogs, happy to be out on a walk! Great find, Leif!

That's hilarious... what a great shot! I'm amazed how much snow you have there. We haven't had more than an inch all winter here in Toronto.

Pat said...

Ha! I won't show these to Bibi. She'll be miffed I didn't make one.

Lois said...

How cute! I've never thought about snow dogs before, but then again I don't see too many snowmen either.

Vicki said...
