Saigon Sundays: For the Love of Snow

I remember when Jim and I were getting ready to move back to Alberta a year and a half ago and we were so worried that Saigon would HATE the snow after living somewhere as warm and lush as BC. We couldn't have been more wrong! Turns out, Saigon LOVES the snow. He just doesn't like the cold. And good thing, because this winter we had months and months of snow. 

We had a lot of fun with Saigon in the snow this winter, both in the backyard and while out on walks. Watching him roll, burrow and leap through the snow never got old. He's like a kid in a candy store! The snow is finally almost all gone and I hate to say it, but I'm a little bit sad for Saigon*.

It's really hard to take action photos (or any photos really) when you have mittens on, but here are some of my favourite shots from this winter:













I tried so hard to get a good video of Saigon playing in the snow and this was the best I could do...I'm no videographer that's for sure, but it captures how much Saigon loves rolling around in the snow (and eating it too!). 





*I'm not really sad...I don't mind the snow, but it has been eight long months and enough is enough. Bring on the spring!

  2. HA adorable. I wish I liked the snow as much as Saigon! My kids do, but not momma, though I have to say that I never complain in winter because I complain all summer. I freaking HATE being hot!

  3. I love Saigon pictures. Bring 'em on! Maybe I will have to post some Mia pictures this week to share...hmm...

    I share your wish for this freaking winter to end. I'm in Michigan & it's snowing. I'm in denial. Spring, come SOON PLEASE.

      I know I'm a little late in this reply, but for the record, it snowed here AGAIN yesterday :(

  4. Awe, glad that someone's enjoying all the snow we had at least. :D My dogs hate it...but I think that has to do with the fact that they're both tiny, and my poor dachshund really doesn't like getting snow on her belly. :P

    Saigon is so adorable though, and I loved the video. :D My dog, Ranger, used to love the snow like that, too. It was always fun to watch him play in it. :D

    1. This past week, Saigon made sure to roll in every last little pile of snow we came across! :) And it IS fun to watch them play in the snow - and one of us rolled in it with him, he would get so excited!

  5. So cute! My dogs LOVE the snow ... it was almost all melted and then we had that huge snowstorm and they ran around, throwing it everywhere and eating it. I wish I had my camera going!

    1. Haha, Saigon LOVES to eat the snow too! Sometimes he goes crazy about it - opening his mouth and just shoveling it in.
