Life in Arvada - How Our Doggies Deal With the Snow

Over the last two days, the Denver area (including my home town of Arvada) experienced The Big Snow of 2009 - that's what I'm calling it, in hopes that it's the only one. No, I don't like snow. Yet it's a part of our lives here in Colorado. The good news is, it usually doesn't stay on the ground here in town very long, especially early and late snow falls.

But for those of your who looooove snow - even after it melts here you don't have to go far to find it, so no worries!

Anyway, back to the topic - I saw a few pictures of friends' dogs posted on Facebook, and love the personalities they show. I'll be adding more pictures as I get them, so if you have one, send it on!

First up - my own beagle, Daphne. I was doing all I could to coerce her to come out into the snow, but as you can see, she wasn't going to budge!

Here's the typical big dog (a friend's golden retriever), enjoying the snow to the max.

And my daughter's dog, Sapphira, who really CANNOT get enough.

I can only imagine what this little girl's thinking, but I'm sure it's NOT, "Get ready, my people are about to pick me up and drop me in the middle of the cold, white stuff". Which is what happened to her next. (This is Roxy. I'm really not sure what she is, but my daughter keeps telling me she's not a chihuaha.)

And these last pictures illustrate the real reason I don't like snow, which is, because gardening season is over. WAY over!

I write posts on events in the Denver metro area, especially those communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the 'flavor' of our community, in case they're new here or considering a move here. I've collected my local info posts here.

I am a residential real estate agent, and would love to assist you if you're considering buying or selling a home in the northwestern Denver suburbs.
