Not Your Typical Man Around Here......

We have had ONCE IN A LIFETIME snow here in Texas.....at least that is what the weather and news are reporting. A record 12-13 inches of snow over the last day and a half....not typical at all....

Speaking of not typical....we built a few snowmen with the fresh snow....well, let me say, they were not your run of the mill snowmen, actually, they were not men at all......here is the large snow bear!

My son and husband did a good job....looks like a polar bear to me.....love it!

And what more non typical can you get than this.....a snow dachshund.......

This one is life size......the size of Dora and Sophie......

This one is begging for a treat, a warm bed, or something besides the snow!!!

This is Sophie's look alike...well, almost....she is always sitting up begging for a treat.

Would you agree.....definitely not your typical run of the mill snowmen at my house!

Sophie wanted no part of this mess....however, Dora and Baily had a grand time running and hopping in the snow....talk about a cool tummy......they played and ran in and out of the doggie door all afternoon......

....and then.....it was lights out in front of the fireplace....poor Bailey was done for the day! Don't ever expect the typical at our house....you will never find it!

  4. Well...snow is not the usual for you so I wouldn't expect your snowmen to be. But your creations are adorable!!! All of them. And I loved hearing about your dogs in the snow. The fresh air and cold snow really wears them out fast!!

  9. Really creative, and adorable snow animals in your yard. What fun for your family...out of a freak snow storm in your area. A blessing, in disguise, except for the doxies!

  10. I love your snow doxies! They are so cute. My doxie Sophie doesn't like snow either.

  11. Just charming, Suzanne!

    Y'all are quite the artists---I can't imagine how you got snow to behave like that!

    And your SnowPuppies are just precious. Wouldn't you just love to go roll around in it, not caring about tracking in or getting on furniture? And to have someone with a warm towel to dry you off before you nestled down on the couch til someone called you to dinner.

    Dog's Life?

  12. Your snow-creations are really cute. I'm a southerner (like...really far south) and didn't know it ever snowed in Texas.

    Great to see you posting. I've missed my regular dose from your blog.

  15. lol...what cute snow men. I didn't even try to build a snowman, too much else going on at my place yesterday. My Levi and Katie Girl loved the snow but ChiChi wouldn't even think about going out. LOL had to pick her up and make her go outside to potty. Then she walked on toenails only and ran like the wind in and out. Poor baby stayed hid in her bed all day.
    Hope you have a lovely week end

  17. Well, you always have interesting blogs, but I think this one topped them all. They did a super job on the "little ones". My first ever to see such great four legged snow figures. Got my power back at 6 am Sat. morning.

  18. Hi Suzanne,

    Yes, I had heard that Texas got snow. I just love that snow bear!!! How cute. I have to say, I have never seen a snow bear. We recieved 17 inches of snow on Thursday. I built a snowman with grandson and daughter. So fun!

  20. I moved from Central Illinois about 8 years ago, to Florida and have kinda missed the beautiful 'look' of the snow.. but not the 'mess' of the snow... your critters brought back such good memories in my yard with the kids.... thanks for such a nice blog!

  21. Man, oh, MAN! What you are capable of when the weather brings you too much of the white stuff-- I'm impressed to the gills! I can't even imagine what you'd do when life's handing out lemons! (<-- I bet IT'S DELUXE!)

  22. I love your snow animals! I haven't made any for years. This year you got our snow, I have big bare (that is snowless) patches here in NH - not the norm for us either.

  24. So cute! You must be up around Dallas. My son is there...when I asked if he had played in the snow, he got all grown-up with me! I'm glad someone had fun playing in it!

Sometimes someone says something really small, and it's like it fits into this empty space in your heart!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts here, they really mean a lot to me!
