Dog Days of Winter
The kids weren’t the only ones having a blast during the recent Texas snow blast.
While most Dallas residents avoided driving on the slick streets, and hunkered down around the fireplace, the many hours of falling snow brought out the fun in both the kids, the pups, and the young at heart.
The several inches of snow didn’t discourage the usual gathering of Preston Hollow Hockaday Square dog parents – the group bundling up to venture out and give their four-legged family members an opportunity for a frolic in the powder.
“Our Goldens love it,” Deanna Marchand said, the Preston Hollow resident joking that, “It looks like their thick fur coats are keeping them warmer than ours are.”
Despite the consistent snowfall, the snow days saw a steady stream of pups greeting each other along their typical meeting place on Northaven Trail.
Several were especially energized by the atypical frosty weather, with some seen jumping through snow piles along the bridge, others witnessed digging their snouts into the powdery fluff, and one even spotted taking a roll in the fresh blanket of snow.
For once I would like to be a dog with thick fur and roll in a fresh blanket of snow. I know that I would be as energized as my canine companion.
