Snowing in Oklahoma

Basenji Talk

  • It is finally winter in Oklahoma… woke up to a balmy 65 degrees wendsday morning and by 5 it was in the 20's..Thunderstorms and lightning.. then here comes the sleet...It is Thursday we have snow :eek: It doesnt do this here ... Cant keep Sandie in the house she loves the snow... She has ran the B500... ate snow and skidded all over the back yard... Seems the colder it gets the more active she becomes...can some one please tell me where to get a chill pill on here ???


  • Ooooh! I'm so envious! Please send it our way! We must have traded weather for a few days - here in VT we are experiencing warmer than normal temperatures (close to 70 degrees) and absolutely no snow! Nala has such fun in the snow and we all can't wait to get out in it!
    I'm sure she'll settle down when the temps return to normal! In my experience, most dogs get frisky with the wind and snow!

    Good observation Nala. It is very windy and cold right now. Flurrys are flying and Duke was just outside skipping about with a frisby. He ran back and forth flipping a frisby having a great time. He wanted me to give it a toss, but it is too windy to give it a good whirling toss. So off he went again. He's very frisky. Though snow is pretty, I'm not crazy for it, but I have to say I can't wait to have enough to see Duke play in it. :)

    I'd leave him out for as long as he wants to be out in the snow - but not without a fence yard. As Tanza said, it only takes one car – or one annoyed neighbor -- to take him out, and he won't be adverse to taking on coyotes, so why risk it? Most people seemed to have huskies or malamutes when I grew up in Alaska and they were seldom indoors. They'd even curl up and go to sleep in the snow, while it was snowing, and remain under a blanket of the stuff!

    So all you guys were right now that zoey has had time to investigate it she is enjoying the snow. Too much! even though she is shivering with cold I have to force her in the house. Its funny watching her she will catch sight of the shifting snow as she walks stops to sniff it which sends out more flakes so she shoves her face in the snow which causes more snow to move then she pounces that. Even though she now seems to love it I still hate the cold missing california right about now.

    They are nice looking coats Jaycee winter coat does not fit when we got her in March we got her a coat but it's a little to tight to say the least. So many pretty colors on there hard to know what one would look the best. We might have to get Jaycee one of those coats she is all ready shaking in the mornings. Rita Jean

    Our Sally Loves it. She runs around like a chicken with her head cut off. It really is cute! She even rides the snow-mobile, or sled with the boys.
