Would you believe she actually wanted me to sit in that stuff outside!

He's no dummy,
He wants to come inside and be with his human mom where it's warm. lol
Cute pics, makes me wish I was out their playing with Bob.

[Taz_Zoee]

He says - ok, I'm finished with my business, let me back in the warm house NOW!!
I love the last picture of him. :D

[MonicanHonda]

Well, I surely wouldn't want to sit in the snow. Freeze my bum off! Lol

[Randi]

Bob may think it's exiting to go in, but surely not for more than two minutes.

It's nice to inside a warm house again, isn't it Bob! :)

Chris, I can't view Photobucket videoes anymore, so didn't see what he did.

[ChrisH]

Sorry about that Randi, can you watch it from here? Just click.

Thanks Chris, I could view that one. :) Now I see what it was he wanted... he wanted YOU to come out and play with him. :D

He is such a sweet boy!

[Indigo Bully Connection]

hahaha my dogs think they are DYEING even though it's in the 40s during the day! Poor Bob, i think he earned an extra treat!

[Lady's Human]

Love the last pic. Mom, you made me go outside in that STUFF, now gimme my treats and LEAVE ME ALONE so I can go curl up someplace warm.

(Or just scritch the puppy for a few hours and all will be forgiven........for the moment.)

[boomersooner]

I don't blame you one little bit, Bob!!!! You precious little springer, you!!!

[cassiesmom]

Awww, Bob! Your feeties are so adorable, I'm sorry they were cold. Here is a hug :love: to you from me and one more :love: for Ebby, too!

[caseysmom]

Bob you are so cute, tell your mom to give you a big hug from me.

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh poor Bob! :love: He doesn't look too impressed, does he? I thought dogs were excited to be out in the snow. :D

I was wondering how deep you were in snow, Chris. You look as though you might have a similar amount to us. It has lasted for three weeks now with no end in sight. This is unheard of!

[ChrisH]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. :D

It really is very odd that he didn't want to stay out in the snow because normally no matter what it is like outside he wants out. I think there may be two explanations.
One. Now he's getting older, like me, he prefers home comforts to the cold outdoors.
Two, the most likely. The snow he has experienced before has not been as deep and he is kind of wary of it. I think he'd be quite happy with it on a walk, which is, unfortunately, something we can't do, well, I can't, ergo he can't either.

Karen, where I live the snow had been reasonably light until we had this downfall which shows no sign of shifting. The problem earlier was the ice, the paths like glass, roads too, bar the main ones which have been kept gritted. Also living on hills/mountainside doesn't help, there is no way up here for vehicles without going up some hill or another. On Tuesday evening my dil had to walk a quarter of the way home because the bus wouldn't come any further. It's not so bad for drivers today though, at least on the well used roads, or so my veg delivery man tells me anyway.

Oh, well, hey ho, it'll end sometime. :D

To all non UK persons. Why can't the UK deal with snow? (http://www.euinfrastructure.com/news/why-cant-the-UK-deal-with-snow/)

[cyber-sibes]

Bob, there are days I feel just like that too!

~Jack's mom

[gini]

Oh, Bob, how could your Mom make you go out in that snow? Ask her if she would go outside in her bare feet and enjoy it!!:D

You are such a handsome boy!

[ChrisH]

Same snow, different day. :)

This time he sat down in the snow on his own accord.

Go figure. :rolleyes:

p.s. Just in case anyone is wondering. He is not left alone when tethered outside. He has to be on a leash when out back because it is a shared space with no fences in between (see attached photo) plus the gate that is around the corner at the top end is left open a lot. The leash is only attached to the fence when he wants to be out with me and I need my hands free, hanging out washing, something like that, or perhaps taking photos. :D
