Late New Years

Sorry for being m.i.a for the last couple of months! But I have to admit, I've been a little lazy to finish a post.

At the start of the new year, the family and a couple of friends went up to Whistler to have some fun for a couple of days. We've taken Bailey to Whistler before, but not when it's winter season! The sight of fluffy white snow made her so ecstatic that she darted towards it and didn't care about the fact that I was shivering to death (I was just letting her out to do her business, I didn't think she would refuse to go inside!).

For the two days we stayed in Whistler, the mornings to early afternoon was Bailey's time to play in the snow. But given that dogs were not allowed on the same mountain as the skiers, we found a wonderful dog off leash area just 10 mins away from Whistler village. As you can tell by the picture above, the dog playing area is suppose to be a beach, but it was so cold that the whole lake froze!

It was an amazing experience to walk on a frozen lake! I don't think Bailey realized she was running around on a frozen lake, but she didn't care because she was frolicking in the snow in temperatures below zero... that was heaven for her!

Every time I pointed the camera towards Bailey to take a picture, she would turn out as a blur or that I would only get half of her body. She wouldn't stop zooming past me this way and that way until finally her legs gave out on her and she plopped onto the snow. Even then I still wasn't able to get her to look at the camera because she was too busy munching away at the white, tasteless and cold snow!

Well by the time we got back to the hotel room and got ready to snowboard, Bailey had already passed out on the living room floor. She was out like a light that she didn't care that we left her in the room while it was our turn to have fun in the snow. Surprisingly, she regained all her energy the next morning for round two at the dog park.
