I thought your dog was a deer for a moment. Whew. That would have been one frisky white tail!
And I agree with the others.. please say that it isn’t hopping over poop. The size of that poop (if it is poop) will haunt me for eternity. I will never get a good night’s sleep again, because it will be tainted with godzilla sized piles of poo that launch an attack on poor third world cities.
I was ready to get cranky that snow for Bossy means quiet reflection, while for me it means a crappy commute into an office of rude and ungracious people. Yep, that last photo is the way my life feels today, dodging sh!t. Thanks, Bossy! 🙂
I knew Stella wasn’t scared of her own poop! Bossy’s life is too interesting to double up on her poop posts. Besides, poop may float but fresh hot poop sinks in snow. Someone told me that otherwise how would I know.
My yard is also filled with trampled snow and yellow patches where dog pee has melted it. And yesterday, my son took a muddy, salt-covered icicle off the bottom of an SUV in the school parking lot and started to eat it. No tranquility here either.
We took a little holiday up to the mountains for some “winter white” and had the weekend from hell instead, ok, maybe not hell, but definitely purgatory.
Nope. I have no idea about this either. ‘CAuse I homeschool. So in the early morning hours when life is peacefully (*bleck*) white, calm (*whatever*) and pristine I am in bed. Snoozing. Dreaming of your video of John Cusack except we’re fighting over him. And my kid is saying “MOm, it’s almost 10 are you getting up…”
My dog is the same color as your dog! It’s not like I’ve never seen Stella before, but you know how vibrant and ALIVE that color looks against the snow? And it just doesn’t stand out so much against any other background. On purpose, genetically, I suppose, since my dog is a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and they are supposed to be African dogs, and her color would totally blend in there… Anyway… Fun dog pic.
I thought maybe it was a turtle. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a turtle in the snow. Of course, being from south Louisiana and central Florida, It’s only recently I’ve experienced snow. Do you have any photos of snow turtles? I’d like to see them, please.
never experienced snow, so I will take your word for it that it is tranquil yada yada, even though every other blogger is bitching and moaning about it.
So tell me, does it steam and then freeze solid? Sounds like a pretty awesome missile to me.
hahaha. Yeah, my dogs wake me up at 4:30 a.m. and want to go outside. Then, they force me to feed them rather than going back to bed. At least, that’s what we did this fine Saturday morning.
Why do 89% of your readers automatically assume it’s poop that the snow pony is jumping over? People! Flea is totally right – it’s a very rare snow turtle.

All Adither says
February 22, 2008 at 9:26 amTell me that brown thing your dog is leaping over is a toy.
Nancy says
February 22, 2008 at 9:28 amIs that what I think it is?
My dog is only 10 lbs so I am just guessing Stella’s “business” is about half the size of my dog!

BOSSY says
February 22, 2008 at 9:40 amThankfully Stella is hopping over her deflated basketball. Because –poop posts twice in one week?
Laura says
February 22, 2008 at 9:43 amThat was funny-kind of reminded me of Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy on SNL.

Hotdog says
February 22, 2008 at 9:52 amLooks to me like that special solitude includes frost bite in the ass.
Stella’s poo-leaping abilities are staggering…
meleah rebeccah says
February 22, 2008 at 10:02 amI LOVE that its snowing! I have been waiting for this all winter…an entire day at home with my whole family!
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
February 22, 2008 at 10:03 amNow that is joi de vivre!
The Mom Bomb says
February 22, 2008 at 10:06 amThat Stella is a spry one! As for me, my winter tranquility has been destroyed by: SNOW DAY. SCHOOLS CLOSED.
junebug says
February 22, 2008 at 10:06 amNow I wonder why that basketball is deflated? Coulds be some large teeth?
The Domestic Goddess says
February 22, 2008 at 10:13 amYup. My Shadow has been making Doggy snow angels for hours. And the kids are home. And the husband is home. Solitude? For amateurs.
chocolatechic says
February 22, 2008 at 10:13 amDoes Bossy jog/shuffle in the snow?
Shelley says
February 22, 2008 at 10:17 amNo snow down here, but my husband’s probably stuck in NYC till tomorrow.
Plenty of poop hurdles in my backyard…sigh.
joeinvegas says
February 22, 2008 at 10:20 amOH, white stuff, pretty to look at in your pictures, we’re into late winter here, nighttime lows of 48.

Im writing about it now….
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
February 22, 2008 at 11:11 amI’d be a little unsettled, too, if I woke up to find a kangaroo frolicking in snow in my back yard.
David says
February 22, 2008 at 11:17 amI was gonna say…
I had two kittens beating the snot out of each other for my solitude this morning, as the snow peacefully fell.
Miss Wisabus says
February 22, 2008 at 11:47 amFor a second there I thought your dog was a deer.

Wish I had a dog.
Mama DB says
February 22, 2008 at 11:59 amHoly Mackerel, that’s a big poo!
Momma Bum says
February 22, 2008 at 12:13 pmI can picture the pile of poo in the snowy white goodness. That’s a fun picture.
We had a little snow sputter earlier but I fear that will be all.
Minnie says
February 22, 2008 at 12:24 pmJust stumbled upon your blog. It’s GREAT. Thanks for the laugh and for the great pictures.

February 22, 2008 at 1:09 pmWhat on earth kind of bird lives in that exceedingly tall bird house? A stork? Larry Bird?
Liana says
February 22, 2008 at 1:21 pmWhat an angle on that last one! It’s crazy but I really like it.
The first two are really lovely…Bossy has such a good eye!! 🙂
Manic Mommy says
February 22, 2008 at 1:41 pmI keep thinking of Jack Palance: “I crap bigger’n you.”

February 22, 2008 at 2:07 pmGlad to see I’m not the only one who leaves my plastic adirondacks out all winter long.

February 22, 2008 at 2:14 pmSigh. Stella…….
amanda says
February 22, 2008 at 2:15 pmBrilliant.
Miss Britt says
February 22, 2008 at 2:17 pmPeople seemed awfully concerned about pictures of poop.
It’s just POOO dudes.

Too funny.

February 22, 2008 at 4:57 pmIt’s probably from all the Metamucil.

Mrs. G. says
February 22, 2008 at 7:23 pmI want a picture of BOSSY jumping over a deflated football-with such spirited vigor.

Audubon Ron says
February 23, 2008 at 10:14 amActually better than me going outside and getting bit by a rabid duck during nesting season.
boots586 says
February 23, 2008 at 7:46 pmSo, when there is a snow day, everyone stays home. Do homeschoolers have to go out somewhere when they have a snow day?
