Just a dusting (2006)

Frito didn't mind the snow.

Lord knows Mom had enough sweaters to keep him warm.

And in this case?  Well, it's only a dusting anyways.

So it must be time to play.  Come on, let's go!

Wolf

Or at least that's what Frito's looking like in this picture.

Maybe a werewolf.  Watch out!

Renoir au Frito

Quick, better get a signature on this baby.

It could be worth millions some day ;-)

Cold nosie

That's gotta be a little chilly.

Snow bound

Frito is either bounding through the snow ...

Or he's snow bound.

Either way, he always loved playing in the snow.

He's flying

Frito's flying along a snow-packed trail.

And if you look closely, I believe he actually is flying through the air ;-)

Frito loved to run in any weather.

Prancing in the snow

Someone's looking pretty happy running through the snow.

In fact, I'd say he's prancing.

Like a Clydesdale, only smaller ;-)

Running through the snow

Sometimes you just have to blaze your own trail in the new snow.

Frito was quite the adventurer, when it came to powder snow.

Yet another sweater

Frito's looking pretty preppy, with his argyle sweater.

He's also looking a little snowy after sniffing for voles ;-)

Quite the wardrobe

Frito had a large collection of sweaters.

So sometimes we just had a to pose him for a modeling shot.

Such a good boy.

Crazy Dog

Somebody's looking like a psycho dog.

Personally, I'd blame the photographer ;-)

Frito was always a cutie pie, but the camera shutter sometimes caught a funny face.

Frito and Kelly

Frito and Kelly were buddies.

Though that may not be obvious with Kelly showing her teeth.

But I think she just got a bit bothered when Frito kept trying to kiss her.

Yep, they sure were buddies.

Running on the snowy lane

Yes indeedy -- Frito loved the snow.

It's one of the first days of 2007 and Frito loves being outside in the crisp, clean, air.

And running.  He also loved to run.

Interested in a walk?

Frito's wondering if we are going to go for a walk.

'Cause he's really interested!

Can you pick out the gargoyle?

Last day of 2006 and here comes the snow.

That's a little more than frost on the pumpkins.

Frito loved the snow.

He was happy to go outside to play in it.

Winter snow blowers

Jumping ahead another year to 2006.

Alpha's all set to snow blow the driveway.

And Frito (who is now 5 years old) is ready to blow through all the snow as well.

He sure could fly!

Bundled up

Alli, why are we all bundled up?

Oh, now I see!

Frito really loved the snow as a young pup (this was early 2005, so he was still 4 years old).

He would just bound through the snow, and end up with snow balls clinging to his furry legs.

But he didn't mind.

My chinny-chin-chin

Looks like someone has be snow snuffling.

This happens when I smell something under the snow and I try to get a better sniff.

OK, Alpha. Nice we could have a photo together.

Now are you gonna give me any help there?

OK, that's better!

Pfew! Alpha finally got those booties of my feet. I mean what was he thinking?!

Now I can prance around in the snow, just like a snow bunny.

Oops. Maybe too much like a snow bunny. I was sniffin' in the snow.

Oh well, not to worry, it's OK.

Hey lookee up ahead. That, there, is someone skiing in the snow. What a novel idea?

Hey guys, how come we're just out for a walk, and not doin' any skiing?

I've got pretty good four-legged cross-country ski action, wanna see?

Pretty impressive, I know. Now if someone can just find me four little snow skis and strap those on my paws.

Oh wait, if I didn't like the booties, that might not be such a great idea (hee, hee).

Alli and the Snowman (2005)

As mentioned previously, you can see that I used to really like the snow.

Or maybe that was just because Alli was out there playing with me.

Either way, now you'll find me curled under a blanket in this sort of weather ;-)
