Winter rules
When winter comes around and the cold wind is blowing,
You have to learn how to enjoy it.
Rule 1: Revel in it (and maybe take an ice bath?)
Rule 2: Explore the beauty
Rule 3: Take a look around and smile – the world is beautiful and you’re alive!
For more rules, please visit: Camera Critters.

Is this Oscar’s first snow? My dog used to love it, too.
I would do everything but the ice bath.

Oscar is nine years old, so not his first snow. But he acts like a pup every winter!

He loves the oudoors, doesn’t he? And it seems he never feels the cold, right?
February 5, 2012 at 16:34

February 6, 2012 at 13:30
Joy and happiness is all around us if only we will embrace it. Your dog has obviously found joy in being out in the snow.
February 6, 2012 at 17:43
Oscar truly knows how to fully enjoy life! It is such a pleasure to see him so happy and active. In that last photo, he looks like he is glowing!

wonderful pics!!! ♥

What a beautiful, happy dog.
February 8, 2012 at 05:32
Someone loves where he is! Our Colorado kids have Australian shepherds and they love the Winter oh so much more than they do the summer — maybe that’s true for Oscar too, because he too has that lovely long coat. (Although I think I’ve seen him smiling in every season.)
February 8, 2012 at 16:08
The world according to Oscar! Now there’s a cult I’d follow! Love you, Oscar!
