Acer – King of Snow Mountain

We in the north have just gone through one of our “Polar Vortexes” and it’s been cold. On top of the cold, there was lots of snow that came along with it.

For most of us, the instinct is to stay indoors and find something to watch on TV. But dogs get bored of TV pretty fast and just want to get outside and play, and Acer is no exception.

In fact rather than watching football, Acer was making his own spectacular catches on Sunday in his own personal “Snow-per-Bowl”.

While we limited his snow time on the coldest of the days, many days recently he’s been anxious to get outside and burn off some energy.

While he’s always happy chasing a ball or toy, he seems to take particular pleasure in playing “King of the Hill” or “King of Snow Mountain” on some of the Sure Flow snow banks. As the snow got deeper, the Sure Flow parking lot snow banks got higher and higher. It’s like it’s a recipe for “Dog Joy” of the highest order.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone because you can’t keep Acer out of the water in the warmer weather, so really, it’s just frozen water he’s playing with.

Acer’s on his way to Florida shortly, to work on his tan. For the rest of us, we’ll just have to get out and get some sun on our face when the sun is out to try and get some Vitamin D.
