Today was a big day for the dogs...From one day to the other wintertime started and the first snow showed up in the mountains. As it was a cold but sunny day my parents and I decided to spend the day in Engelberg hoping for some snow. And yes, as soon as we drove up the mountain, snow started to show and we decided to take a cable car that would take us to an about 1800 meter high lake, the Truebsee. The dogs happily jumped into the cable car and got quite a surprise when we got out: there was about 50 cm of snow waiting for us. Liwa at first was quite surprised when she got off the path into the snow and sank but the next second she got completely mad jumping around like a wild rabbit. Paulo was a bit more cautious but the moment he found out how much fun it is to run in the snow, he got wild too and we could barley stop them from going mad for hours. The funniest thing is that the snow was so high that Liwa would constantly sink and get stuck in the snow. She wouldn’t give up though and continue jumping like a wild rabbit until she would get out. In the end she got so good at it that it seemed that she was a flying rather than a running dog. Paulo looked beautiful in the white scenery, like an ice bear, especially since after a while there were little snow balls sticking to his long fur. After their very first walk in the snow, they were so incredibly exhausted that they slept in the car for the rest of the day while we enjoyed a delicious cheese fondue at the Alpenclub restaurant...
