Rain, Mud and Ice

Unfortunately we didn't get to experience any snow while we were home for Christmas. When we arrived there was horrible flooding that had closed some of the roads near our house and had created a "lake" in our front yard. I think Morey liked this new addition to Grandma's house and he splashed around the edges when he went out, turning from a yellow dog into a yellow dog with brown feet and brown spots. Morey's frolicking earned him a foot bath after he came inside but it didn't deter him from his antics.

Mud on the feet and grass stuck under his nails-looks like Morey is in need of a paw-dicure!

It turned cold soon after the rain arrived and the lake turned into an ice skating rink. Instead of splashing, Morey enjoyed stepping on and playing in the ice. He doesn't seem to mind the cold weather and neither does Grandma so it works out perfectly. They play outside together while I watch from inside. That's how I do winter these days!
