Snow in August

Rusty here. The weather finally cooled off here in the mountains and you aren't going to believe what we woke up to. SNOW!

We still got in our hikes, and the snow felt so great on the paws.

It was enough to put a giant smile on my face.

The black and white team had fun, too!

Cheoah even got to do some snow slides.

Just one last thing to tell you - AUGUST FOOLS!

Rusty! Stop laughing. That's APRIL, not AUGUST!

Oh. Never mind.

    You all didn’t fool me! I was scrolling down through the snow photos thinking, “Is this an April Fool’s in August?” and I was right! LOL!

    I LOVE Rusty’s sense of humor! On a related note, I have my computer set for a random slide show when I stop using it. The snow photos do look very nice on the warmer days!

    I was waiting for it to all be a dream! Knowing Rusty as the jester he is, I think he’s allowed to pull an August Fool’s Day if he wants! He looks so darned happy in every picture!

    Ha ha! I too figured it was not for real, knowing how hot it’s been there. But I guess weirder things have happened. It was nice to see snow photos, though–like seeing tropical beach shots in the dead of winter.

    BOL! I was thinking this is PAWSOME because we’re headed to NC in a couple of days! Oh well, it will still be fun even without an August snow. Looking at your pictures sure made me feel cooler though!
