We don't own a dog...we own a mountain goat!

We received 70+ inches of snow this year so far and because Yeti is approximately 18" tall, I shovel a path around the backyard for him.

 He loves to run around (zoomie) the track and jump up on top of the piles...until he finds a soft one and he fall through up to his belly.  Then it is struggle, struggle, struggle to get back to hard pack and start over.  It will be interesting the first time he goes over the fence and into the deep snow and can't get back.

He often takes a toy out with him.  Of course something else always catches his attention and his toy is left outside.  That's generally OK until he remembers it at 3 AM and feels the need to go rescue it. 

When it is really cold (9F or below), we usually put booties on him.  While not his favorite thing, he puts up with it now.  And whether or not he appreciates it, he doesn't get stuck with snow between his toes trying to hold up all four feet at the same time....

With the warm days and bright sun,we now have a glacier.  He has figured out not to jump off of the top step or he falls on his butt.  This too shall pass...soon...
