Yes, this is exactly the same snow as I stood in yesterday, sinking in up to above my knees. It’s probably 3 feet or more deep. But gradually it forms a fairly hard crust on the top and a 15 lb puppy can easily run on the surface. Not so a person, who sinks in and flounders about,, breaking through the top and losing balance on the lumpy hard layers of ice and snow beneath. I was not having nearly as much fun as she was. The next times I went out with her today (without the camera) I strapped on my snowshoes and I, too, was walking across the top of the snow!
Joni is 12 weeks old tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone! I hope you have as much fun as a puppy running across the snow on a lovely winter’s day.

That's what the breed is all about, +Tatyana Akindinova – determination and stamina (and intelligence). 🙂
мне нравится ее целеустремленность!
Share it and mention me, +Lauren Campbell – so I see it. I would love to see his photo. 😀
+Ellie Kennard, looks like my dog; but he's a Karelian Bear Dog mix…I wish I could put a photo in the feed…. they could be siblings!
+Lauren Campbell – no, Joni is a border collie puppy, 3 months old. 🙂
+Ellie Kennard, is Joni a Karelian Bear Dog?
Hahahaha! Good description!
😀 +Christina Lihani oh yes. Manic almost! With joy.
Oh those eyes!
+Rachel Ferris – funny and lots of fun!
They are funny little creatures!
She will, +Heiko Mahr – it's all a learning experience at this point in her life.
We had a little dog who decided that she could only 'go' on the snow. As spring advanced and there got less and less snow, it became harder and harder for her (and the person on the end of the leash) to find the 'right' spot. It became quite painful until she finally resigned herself to 'going' on grass! 😀
She looks so full of fun and enjoying her snow walk +Ellie Kennard. I guess she will be very astonished that there is no snow for a long time during the year..
Oh yes. I had better go and get my snowshoes on right now. Time for another run on the top! 😀 thanks Janet. +Janet Patterson
I'm a believer +Ellie Kennard. One happy pup! Lovely.
Thanks once again +Gisela Heeg – I am glad you are not bored with them. 😉
+Brigitte Tarka – pourquoi? Ou vous blaggez? Cette chienne est entre les plus heureuses! 😀
pauvre chien il doit etre malheureux
Great photo, beautiful eyes. I am pleased about each photo … +Ellie Kennard
But in a way she is, +Joyce Fay 🙂
+Sunny Wu – the snow falls and is soft, but if it warms up a bit, then gets cold again, it forms a crust on the top. This can hold a 15 lb puppy, but not a person like me. So I was sinking in over my knees when she was running around on the top.
But I bet even she can't walk on water.
How does the snow stay on top of the snow with out sinking in?
🙂 +Sumit Sen – she has to be, here.
You got her summed up right there, +Rachel Ferris – thanks!
+HQSP Animals and +Krystina Isabella Brion you are welcome and thank you for your support and positive comments.
Merci beaucoup +Olivier Dupont
+Derek Trixie Kennard – I suppose she is, in a way… 😀
+Ursula Klepper – her ears pricked up just when I read that aloud! She is on her way (she has no concept of how far away you live, she's just a baby!) And I agree with the description!
+Shelly Gunderson 😉 Oh yes!
Talented pup! 🙂
Come here Joni come here, look I have your blue ball !!
Wonderful Photo of #thesweetestJoni !! :o)
She will be walking on water next

She looks at home on the snow 🙂
+Lindi Smith 😀 That is so lovely and makes me feel good, too. Thank you.
+Allan Cabrera – I hope you had half as much fun as we did!
+Ellie Kennard She is stellar….like a shiny star..cyriusly! I love your posts of her…she makes me feel happy…I mean look at that face!! (Big Smooches!) Happy 3 month birthday Joni Kennard! xox
Thank you +Mark Plonsky – we think so.
+DOG LOVERS Worldwide +Robert SKREINER – I am so sorry if I have caused offence. I just share photographs of my puppy / dog and do not wish to offend anyone, just to spread pleasure and happiness. I am glad you liked the photograph. The sad thing about communities is that people do not see these postings in their stream unless they follow these communities and they cannot comment. However this is not the place for a discussion about communities. My puppy is asking to go out and I must go with her. :;-)
+Lindi Smith – thank you so much for your lovely words about her. 😀
#sinksandfloundersabout !! sounds like my hike this morning in the woods +Ellie Kennard!! great shot of Joni..
Holy Puppy ! ;D (She is so adorable and extremely photogenic…what a little dolly!)
Lovely dog and photo! +Ellie Kennard
We are sorry, but we don't share photos with a hashtag of a so called "dogsgallery" , which is new and has nearly no followers, maybe 50. This person is only copying our work now, which we are doing since nearly 3 years. We have serious reasons to distance ourselfs in every form from this so called person
+Heinrich Wagner
But you can share your photos without hashtags and mentions and put hashtags and mentions in an own comment to your post. The result is the same, that pages and persons get a notification.
And you can always share your beautiful photos in
our Community: TOP Photos on G+
https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/102730381095199131702
From there we share daily the best photos to our pages.
Best regards from +DOG LOVERS Worldwide
