Snow Day with Berkley!

I didn't expect to hear the phone ring at 5:45 am this morning telling me school was canceled. I thought, "That's ridiculous....Texans," as I rolled over and turned off the alarm. I should have peeked outside the window first. I can't remember the last time we had this much snow in Texas! I bundled up and took Berk out to play at the park. Literally, here's how I did it: undergarments, a thin pair of socks, leggings over the socks, long janes over the leggings, then a thick pair of socks over the long janes. Then I pried my jeans on over all the layers, waddled across the house into my rain boots, then put on a long sleeve shirt, a fleece, and my winter coat. I topped it all off with a fleece hat and gloves. (I've been home for hours and I'm still wearing most of it... ;) Berkley and I had the time of our lives! He is such a sweet dog, and has been such a blessing to Andy and I. We love you Berkley!


Not happy about having to wear his Halti...



Halti is off = happy dog!





Yum- this tastes like ice cube treats!




This first video is of us reaching the park. After a 1/2 mile walk at what Berkley would consider a too-slow-pace, he was released from the leash. Here's his reaction to freedom with the snow!


After 30 minutes of running, running, and more running, we headed to the playground area. Usually when we come, we try to get Berkley to go down the slide. This time he was all too eager! He did this over and over and over again. One time he went so fast he lost his balance, and went down sideways, landing in the snow on his back. It was hilarious! Wish I could have caught it on tape...
