Winter???

I'm a little sad that we haven't had much snow yet, especially with it ALREADY being February. I don't want it to be snowy and cold until June like it was last year. The little amounts of snow we have had just don't stick around for long enough. Now, don't get me wrong, I HATE driving in the snow, but I kind of miss it. Another problem with only getting little amounts of snow is that in the afternoon when it melts it turns the dirt in my yard to mud, and this is what the Zildjin looks like

They aren't the best pictures because I took them through the window, but the paws and legs that are usually white get so covered in mud they turn black. She also likes to lay down outside and so her entire stomach gets caked in mud. These pictures are from the last snow storm, and even though we rinsed her off, she still has some mats of fur that are caked with mud on her belly. Such a silly puppy.
