We woke up to an inch of snow Saturday morning, so we went for a long hike out back.  Good thing we got out early because most of the snow had melted by noon.

Theresa and Shadow can’t help but smile while hiking through the pretty snow.

The adventures of Darby and Shadow continue!  Watch as Darby tries to hop through the deep snow in our back yard.  That “little wood bone” you see sticking up from the snow when Darby first stops is the grave marker from our last dog, Peanut.

Every winter in Northern Kentucky we get at least one week of very cold weather, which freezes our pond so we can ice skate and play broomball.  And this winter was no exception, as we’ve been in a deep freeze since before New Years Eve.

We got another 3” snow on top of our 2” base. 

Darby runs through a puffy snow that stuck to everything and transformed the world into a winter wonderland.

Darby Dog and the Deer
posted by: Timm in Dogs, Videos on May 4th, 2009 | 2 Comments »

A few summers back when our dog Darby still had puppy in her, she found a new large playmate.  Each day a female deer would come up into our yard and just stand there waiting for Darby.  I half expected the deer to come knock on our door and ask, “Can Darby come out [...]
