52 Snapshots of Life Photo Challenge: Week #5 – Winter

Snowing again…really?

The winter blahs. Humans aren’t the only ones who get ’em. Less Vitamin D, shivers, layering up to go out and de-layering to come in. This was taken last winter during a string of snow days here, when it was tough for Sophie to go out and do her business. She braved it, the tough little cookie, but you could tell she wasn’t having too much fun. It’s those feet; she doesn’t like to get those dainty little paws wet.

Don’t tell the other Portuguese Podengo Pequenos; they’d have a good laugh. “We’re hunters, after all,” they’d say. “Humans bring us out to do the dirty jobs no one else would – run up cliffs, stick our heads down holes – all to ferret out that dang rabbit, so our bigger Podengo brothers and sisters (the Medio’s), can take  over and finish them off.”

Sophie never got that memo. For as long as I’ve known her (since she was three months old), she’s been a delicate flower who, I have to admit, plays with the gusto of a whirling dervish.

Jasper, on the other hand, snow frolicking. But, here, unless you go to Central Park, it’s more like snow pile frolicking, on street corners where it builds up a bit. Not exactly a true winter experience, but he doesn’t know that. He’s happy. It’s the cold temperatures he wants no part of, as he tugs to pull us inside.

Here, Sophie is looking out her living room window, maybe thinking, “Jeez, really? Snow again?”

As you might’ve guessed, this week’s theme in the 52 Snapshots of Life Photo Challenge, is Winter. I’m lovin’ the #52Snapshots challenge. I get to take pictures of my babies and share them, re-discover older pics I’d forgotten about and  connect with fellow pet bloggers and animal lovers, in general. What’s not to like?!

You, too, can join in the fun! You don’t need to be a pet blogger. Just link up to the challenge via our fearless 52 Snaps leader, Christina Berry of The Lazy Pitbull, a very informative and cool blog I recommend you check out. (www.thelazypitbull.com).

Each week, snap a shot of your pet in a setting that depicts that week’s theme, and then share on your social networks. Here’s the schedule of themes:

If you’re in, remember to hashtag your social media shares with #52Snapshots so we can all follow along. Stay tuned for next week’s challenge  – Create. Ooo…sounds like an art project!
