Week three or is it four weeks now that the temperatures have remained below zero in many parts of the county.
Our regular walk to the park to check on the unfreezing puddle indicated that in part the water has become solid with ice. However, it is very thin and mum stopped us walking on it in case we fell through.
Interestingly, as can be seen by the photograph, the overnight snow has not covered the puddle over, so maybe some heat is still left in our thermal spring.
Maybe dad could buy the land and build a spa complex on it just for pooches.
We do get sore muscles and bad skin like humans, so why shouldn’t we get a bit of pampering…
Snowballs
Today Charlie learnt all about snow balls and chasing them. Mum tried like mad to make them so he could have something to run after.
The latest fall of snow was very powdery, just like false snow you would find in a shop window at Christmas or the stuff straight out of an aerosol can.
Mum had to warm her hands before picking up the snow so a little of it would melt and form a sort of icy-snowball.

Video
Dad has been busy with the video and stills camera over the last few days snapping away taking pictures of snow.
He has put together a gallery of some of the stuff taken over the last few days below for your enjoyment.
Both mum and dad are now very busy writing up various articles for some of their websites and just letting us lay by the fire, toasting slowly.
We take it in turns hot-bunking on the rug whilst the other gets comfortable in a cooler part of the house. Mum thinks that maybe we were marshmallows or gods in a previous life. I suppose that dog is merely god spelled backwards. So following that way of thinking we must also be a wollamhsram. Whatever one of those is?
Until next time
Buster and Charlie
