Dogs having fun at the pet snow park.
A Snow Day in the Summer? My dog thinks it’s cool!
My pup Petey got to play in the snow in the middle of August right here in sunny Southern California. How is that possible? Last Saturday Unleashed by Petco in Chula Vista held a “Summer Snow Day”. A truck delivered huge cubes of ice to the store’s parking lot and transformed them into snow with the help of snow machines. The end result was a leash-free snow park for dogs.
When it was Petey’s turn in the snow park, he ran right in and started playing with the toys, licking the snow and digging around with his paws. He had such a blast!
Here in San Diego we don’t get any snow during the winter, so this was a new experience for many of the dogs. I watched a young puppy take his first careful steps in the snow and slowly put his tongue to the ground to give it a taste. He wagged his tail and looked very happy.
What about your pets? Do they enjoy playing in the snow?

Tug-of-war in the snow!
Aaah...that feels nice and cool.
