First up, this is the sight that greeted me when I headed to bed on Thursday night; apparently Kaylee is very enthusiastic when it comes to providing turn-down service:
But how could I be upset with someone so absolutely adorable?
Friday morning it was snowing at a pretty good clip when I woke up, or at least enough to close the local schools for the day. Kaylee, of course, was full of pep after a good night's sleep, so I grabbed her rubber ball and took her out to play. However, in the winter there's a bit more this particular activity than just a game of fetch; more times than not, Kaylee will bypass whoever's throwing the ball in favor of climbing up one of the snow banks created when the driveway is plowed, dropping the ball, and then digging at it. Which drives it further into the snow, requiring more digging. She'll actually do this for several minutes before finally grabbing the ball and bringing it back to whichever one of us has been standing there doing their best imitation of a popsicle. Then we throw it for her, and the process begins all over again.
At any rate, after watching Kaylee dig for a while I decided I might as well do something with my downtime, so I snuck back into the house and grabbed my camera.
Loved that I managed to catch her just as she was glancing up to see where I was. And yes, she really was in the snow bank that deep:

Digging in a new spot:
Another check on me:
Trying to maneuver herself back down into the hole she'd created:
And, at long last, Kaylee decides she's ready to return the ball to me:
Turndown and bedwarming services, what a good dog she is! The snow photos are also too cute!
