Heidi's Snow Day Fun

Heidi has had SO much for with all the recent snow days and there's been quite a few of them here in Virginia. Since she was born, we haven't had much snow, just one or two inches here and there. But this year made up for it and she couldn't get enough of the white fluffiness. 

Here are some videos and pictures showcasing all the fun she's had...

Fetch in the snow. This was the first significant snow accumulation of the season. 

Then we got a whole lot more snow a few weeks later....

And here is yesterday's snow day,,,

Now we are very ready for Spring fun!!!

Outtakes

I've gotten a lot of comments on how everyone loves Heidi in my weekly picture and how I get her to sit so pretty for it, so I decided to share some outtakes. 

As some of you may know, the name Heidi was inspired by the beautiful Heidi Klum. It certainly ended up being the perfect name for our golden retriever because she loves getting her picture taken! 

This first picture below is the picture that started it all when Heidi decided she too wanted to be apart of the weekly bump watch. Without being called, she just walked over with her toy and sat next to me to get her picture taken. The rest is history. Every week, without being called she comes right over to pose with me. In some of the pictures below, you can see how I started alone and she walked right in. I think it is a combination of her being a total ham and our love for one another - truly (wo)man's best friend. :)

Photo credits to my hubby who loves constantly snapping picture after picture.

Heidi's 2nd birthday

My sweet Heidi turned two yesterday. We celebrated with some new toys and a bone, played some fetch, went for a walk and ate some yummy hamburgers. Here are some pictures of our party animals....
