the lucky life: snow day

Yesterday I had the opportunity to leave my day job a little early, and as much as I am ready for all things green, warm, and spring, I couldn’t help but see the beauty in this last snowstorm. (By the way, how lucky are we that some of our old snow had a chance to melt last week?!? Can you imagine how much snow we’d have if it hadn’t??–Wow.) When I got home Phaneuf, Mr. Nikon, and I headed outside and played in the street for a few minutes.

Phaneuf is in so many ways a perfect fit for Ryan and I. She and I however, do not see eye to eye on our preferred weather. While I love a nice, sunny summer day, this is her time of year, and nothing makes me like winter more than seeing her play in the snow. I just. plain. love it.

I am so glad that I fought my urge to curl up on the couch with a blanket, and I am so, so glad to have these photos of my snow-loving girl!

our perfect day

We wake up in the morning. It’s early enough to know we have our whole day ahead of us, but late enough to feel well rested. We have a delicious breakfast and pack our things to head out for a day outdoors. We arrive at the state park and the weather is perfect–the sun is out and the temperature is not too warm for Phaneuf, nor too cool for Ryan and I. We grab our water, snacks, and my camera (of course) and head out on a trail.

We spend a few hours hiking and enjoying the scenery, and make sure to find time for Phaneuf to do some swimming in the river. (By the way, she miraculously dries in 20 minutes, and her coat amazingly needs no brushing!) As we spend our afternoon together we meet a few people, all of which adore Phaneuf and let her dish out plenty of sloppy Newf kisses. Surprisingly, not one person comments that she looks like a bear–they must know we hear it all the time.

On our way home, we find a cute little ice cream shoppe, and stop to have a cone on the patio. Even Phaneuf gets to indulge in some dog-friendly ice cream! Once home we relax in our yard, Ryan and I each enjoying a book, and Phaneuf taking her afternoon nap in the shade. In the evening we grill our favorite dinner and eat on the patio with the Twins game on the radio in the background. We end our day watching a movie in our living room while Phaneuf takes turns cuddling with each of us on our couches.

This is my perfect day with my pup, and up next is your chance to win a free photo session by sharing yours! Details will be posted right here on Wednesday, or get them a day early by signing up for the Lucky Mutt Photography newsletter!

2011, here i come.

This is exactly how I have felt so many of my days lately. (It’s fantastic by the way—let yourself get excited!) The last few weeks I have spent a lot of time looking in…goal setting…planning…preparing. None of this is unusual for the beginning of a new year, of course. I guess it’s how I roll.

The last week or so my head has been swimming in a flood of ideas and plans for 2011, the first of which will hit the blog in the next few days. It’s big, and it involves free for you, and fun for both of us!! And, if you don’t want to wait for the blog post, sign up for my newsletter…’cause that’s where you’ll hear it first.
