Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

Well, it really did snow! I couldn't believe it! Right now, we have about an inch, and there is supposed to be more snow on the way.

When we woke up this morning, nothing had really happened yet. You could tell the ground and roads were wet, but there was no precipitation coming down. ECU had already announced that the university was closed, and Cody soon found out he didn't have to go in either (Brody is on a different schedule). By the time we ate breakfast, snow had started falling. It gradually picked up and was really coming down in big flakes for a while. Hershey kept watching out the window at the snow. He would give us these sad looks saying, "I want to go play in the snow."

We decided to take him outside, and he loved it! It was so funny to watch him when he first got out there--he kept prancing around and bouncing from one place to the other. We took a ball outside, intending on throwing it for him, but he entertained himself most of the time. He kept wallering around, getting his nose completely covered with snow, and he would eat it--I guess this stems from his love of eating ice. Much to his dismay, we had to come back inside and warm up. He was starting to shiver (and so were we!). I had to dry him off with my hair dryer to get the snow to melt from his paws and get him warmed back up.
