Wheeee! Chet here, Folks - here I am out in the backyard enjoying my first snow. Excited doesn't even begin to describe how I felt when the Roommate let me out in this stuff for the first time. As you can see I'm just a blur for the camera as I raced hither and yon.
This is the classic downward dog yoga pose. The Roommate says you need to focus on a fixed point to execute this move. A bone works fine for me.
But I digress. The Roommate is allowing me to take over our blog today to show you this amazing trick that I learned to do in this stuff--snowball rolling. So, in five easy steps:
Step 1 - dig out one of the cement blocks that the Roommate chocks under the fence to keep me from digging out of the yard. Too big to carry, so. . .
Step 2 - . . .start rolling! At first it's so easy that I can stop to snack on a little snow. Not as good as a Slim Jim, but not bad.
Step 3 - take a moment to strategize when the ball gets too heavy. Work smarter, not harder is my motto.
Step 4 - Reverse direction makes easier rolling. Wonder why that Greek guy Sisyphus didn't figure this out when he kept trying to push that rock up a mountain?
Step 5 - Good enough for the first day since I had to go inside for my dinner. The next day I put in a few hours perfecting my first snow ball. If we get another snow this winter maybe I'll build a snowdog. Stay tuned and don't forget to enjoy the season you're in.

Chet, you're a natural in this white stuff.
And I'll have to tell my girls 'enjoy the season you're in'. They are such wimps in the cold
A very gifted dog. :-)
I bet you had fun just watching him play around in the snow. Nice series of pics...they tell a story!
wait until he asks for a carrot for its nose!
awww, some one is having fun. so cute!! ( :
I admire your energy, Chet. You could run circles around Coop. Would love to see a "snow dog". Have fun in the snow!
LOL! That's awesome! If he ever builds a snowman, be sure to take photos!
Oh, Chet you are having so much fun! I'm working on my downward dog in yoga too. If you ever build that snowdog be sure the roomate gets a picture of it for us.
So cute! I admire your ability, Chet! I would have been way too cold to do that much work!
I never heard of a dog rolling snowballs! So funny.
Chet - you are one smart dog. And the roommate too for volunteering to take photos of your genius in action. I hope you gave the roommate a treat for being such a good sport. And also that you got a treat for being so smart.
