Quintzy the Snowdoodle

Quintzy loved to play in the snow. And what better place to do so than in Stowe, Vermont, where the stuff stayed white all winter?

He would sit patiently, waiting for one of us to shape a snowball for him to catch.

 

Ready... Set...

 

JUMP!!!

Sometimes, it was necessary to find a snowball that had buried itself in a drift.

 

Catch enough snowballs, and a potty break becomes necessary. Good thing there were plenty of trees handy.

 

Of course, sitting on a snowbank could be a little tough on the backside.

 

There were times Quintzy helped us clear a path to the door.

The snow got pretty deep on our deck most years.

 

Quintzy perfected the 'face shovel' maneuver.

But, winter got old and we got cold (or was it the other way around). We left the snow and ice behind at the end of 2010.
