Who remembers this much snow on the East Coast south of Mount Washington? Really!?! Lola has been loving it of course. She has her own version of the New Jersey Winter Games 2010:
Biathalon. Usually involves bounding around the backyard and snow drifts. Then every 5-10 minutes instead of whipping out her hunting rifle, she has a sniff break. Points awarded for finding edible treats in the snowdrifts.
Ice Dancing. This could be considered pairs ice dancing as I struggle to control her on the icy sidewalks (thanks local residents and university maintenance who clearly do not follow Mr. Rogers' maxim of neighborly love). Of course Lola and I lack the insensitive Aboriginal costume or the flaming pants from "Blades of Glory", but our triple sow-chow is off the charts.
Nordic Combined. Again the standard bounding around and then midway through the bounding, she finds a fallen branch seemingly 45 times the size of her fluffy frame. Apparently, points are awarded in doggie land equal to the size of the branch that you drag across the snow.
Snowboard Cross. This typically happens during the busy afternoon rush on the sidewalks of the local apartment complex or as Lola and her friends Willa and Django battle for control of the thrown tennis ball at the local dog park.
Curling. Today Lola decided that she wanted to carry pieces of ice around the backyard. Canada, you may have invented curling but you are going down...WOOF WOOF!
