Trumpit said...: Yes, it made me happy. That dog for president in 2020. I'd like to see Schlump roll down a hill off a cliff.; 1/30/19, 3:42 PM

The Godfather said...: That dog looks a lot like my Lab-Pointer Mix. Fortunately, we haven't gotten that kind of snow here in Dixie. And my dog is just fine with that!; 1/30/19, 4:51 PM

Arashi said...: Best dog and snow video I have seen is a snip from a Warren Miller movie that showed the skier and his dog (dog had his own season ski pass) getting off the lift and then the skier skiing donw the run and the dog running down the run and both zig-zagging by each other. This was in Telluride. It was awsome - dog looked like he was having more fun the skier.

This is good as well.; 1/30/19, 5:12 PM

The dog stayed between them as they climbed til they were out of our sight and we both thought it was odd behavior for a dog not to run ahead. A couple of hours later we saw them coming down on their boards. The guy would come down a hundred yards and start whistling for the dog who would slide down on his belly to the guy and they waited for the girl to come down to them. They repeated this several times til they reached the bottom of the slope and started walking down the trail that went right by us. We went over and talked to them a bit, complimenting them on their dog. It turned out the dog was nearly blind. That's why they were whistling and always talking when moving and the dog was always between them. The coolest part was when I told a friend about it later. After listening to the story his remark was "seeing eye people!"; 1/30/19, 6:48 PM

Love the soundtrack, too. It's the perfect song for the footage. Lord Huron!; 1/30/19, 9:26 PM

Quaestor said...: Trumpit made me hate that dog. Hitler loved his pooch, ergo by Trumpit's own logic he's Hitler's clone.; 1/31/19, 4:26 AM
