Friday evening was special for Beaufort - he was finally introduced to the element most common to our northern countries this time of year. And his reaction was amusing as he first contemplated what was changing around him...and then 

                            

                            

There was a lot of very lively activity around the yard before he settled down in the new snow, but the next morning he was finally able to study in the light of day the spectacular change in the surroundings that had at one time been so familiar to him.

 

Now his treasures brought home after our walks together leave their tell tale evidence in a glossy trail across our living room floor...
