It’s time for me to step away from the chocolate. Although, I do have another chocolate recipe in the works for later this week. Did you actually think I could function without it for more than a couple of days? Chocolate is my coffee.
We’ve been extremely fortunate with regard to having a mild winter in Boston this year. I think we earned it after the absolutely insane amounts of snow that got dumped on us last year, day after day after day. Go figure, the one year I actually have garage parking and don’t have to commute into work, we get almost no snow. But hey – I’ll happily take it.
We did, however, get one round of light, fluffy snow about a month ago, and it may have been the first time in years that I didn’t hate it. Why the sudden change of heart? Because I wanted to see Olive’s reaction.
Based on how excited Olive gets each and every time she discovers her tail (every.single.day.), I figured it would be highly entertaining. Here are a few action shots Aaron was able to capture when we took her to a nearby park…
I love that last shot, with the regal stance and the snow all over her face. We lovingly call her “Doofus” because she’s such a goofball. Sweet, but not all there. I think her thought process is essentially:
food food food food food squirrel! food food food pee food food tail! food food sleep.
Rinse and repeat.

I absolutely love your dog! Olive is just the cutest; your photos are so pretty.
I have been such a huge fan of your recipes and posts, and I have nominated you for a Liebster Award! I hope that you continue to blog, because I just love yours!
Thanks, Michelle! What a sweet comment.
I really appreciate the feedback and I’m so happy to hear that you enjoy my recipes and posts. Thanks again for nominating me for the Liebster Award!
Lol about Olive’s thought process at the and- that’s my dog Lance to a T! Just like the dog from Up!
Olive is SO cute! I just love to watch my dogs play in the snow- they are like little kids! And there’s nothing cuter than their faces all covered with snowflakes.
We haven’t really had any snow here, which normally I would not complain about, but people are going nuts for a real winter. And I would love a snow day…
It’s so much fun to watch dogs play in the snow. Olive didn’t seem any more excited about it than running when it’s just a grassy field, but Honey LOVES the snow. She races around like a maniac. It’s the best.
I like the side view of Olive. She’s a beauty! What kind is she?
We’re not really sure about her breed, since she’s from a shelter that brought her up from Florida with very little info. We think some kind of pointer mix.
OMG she is the sweetest! These just lit up my whole day.
Olive is quite the little charmer when she’s not being mischievous. haha
Isn’t that the definition of “puppy”? Tehe
love the profile black and white, she looks like she has so much determination hah!
I know, right? I swear there’s not much going on in that little head though. Just thoughts of kibble and squirrels.
Those are awesome shots of Olive. I love the last one too. She almost looks like a superhero dog with that jacket and stoic stance (or sit)
YAY!! I love puppy posts and I had been wondering about Olive – she is such a stunning girl. My favorite shot is photo number 2 – that muzzle is so sweet and kissable
Thanks, Sally! I hope to do another update on Olive’s training sometime soon. We’re finally starting to get past the phase where she just tries to chew on everything and can’t sit still for more than 2 seconds. I don’t want to curse it though…I think I’ll give it a little more time to make sure it sticks.
awww so cute! my kitty’s name is olive =]
