Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

My fun day in the snow after winter storm Jonas last weekend didn’t end after I helped my dad dig us out, because my ponies on the farm needed to be cared for too!

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

So Trooper and I bundled up and got ready to help with all the farm chores!

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

Once all my ponies were fed, and the stalls were mucked, it was time to have a little fun.

And just like that we were off! (bet you can’t even spot me way up ahead of Trooper…he can never catch me!)

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

Boomerang is always our first stop, because he’s ALWAYS up for a good time in the snow.

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

His toothy grin pretty much says it all, and I’m pretty sure he wishes it was a snow day everyday.

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

Yup, Boomer definitely knows how to have a good time in the snow!

Two can play at that game Boomer! Because I know how to have a good time in the snow too!

Even my pal Minnow wanted to get in on the action.

Trooper did pretty well keeping up with Minnow despite the deep snow…

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

….I of course tried my little heart out to keep up too, but lets face it, 26+ inches of snow is not exactly friendly to us short dogs. #shortdogproblems

So I relegated myself to the spectators side of the fence to get a better view of the pony show.

And my pal Minnow did not disappoint! He put on a grand show for me in the snow.

Overall it was a perfect snow day on the farm with my ponies. I can’t wait to do it again soon!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog’s Fun Snow Day

Posted on January 27, 2016 by Ammo

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

When winter storm Jonas hit my area on Friday night I was ready for it! Although when I awoke the next day in the midst of the storm, I wasn’t quite prepared for having to make a trek to find a spot to pee!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Good thing mom was on hand to help me trek through the Blizzard in search of a spot!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Although, I may have gotten a bit distracted as to the purpose of this excursion! I spent most of the day on Saturday curled up inside waiting for the winds and snow to die down so I could actually go outside and play.

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

By Sunday the storm had ended, and we were left with 26+ inches of glorious snow and I was ready to go outside and play!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Dad thoughtfully shoveled me a potty area in the backyard, but as you know, I like to blaze my own trail!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

I know there is a lot of dogs out there that don’t like the cold, wet snow to touch their paws, but I’m not one of them! I love to explore in the snow, and mom and dad end up having to make me come inside because I’ll stay out there until I’m shivering.

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Check out the fun video below of me enjoying my snow day….

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Eventually I had to help dad clear the driveway, as were were pretty much snowed in at that point.

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

It’s a good thing I’m not very good at holding a shovel, because clearing the driveway was hard work!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

By mid-day Dad had cleared just enough that we could get out for a walk.

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

So I took the opportunity to visit the neighborhood kids who were having a blast “attempting” to sled in the deep snow.

Stay tuned on Friday for the continuation of my snow day adventures, where I got to play with my ponies on the farm!

Does your dog enjoy playing in the snow?
