Dakota & Benny

Dakota tipped her water bowl over today before I got to her cage to let her out. I got it all cleaned up and then we went out back to play. I think they were pretty upset at first that we weren't going for our walk, but the sidewalks were pretty well covered yet. I couldn't find Benny's pink ball, so I decided to make little snowballs and throw 'em for them. They loved it! I have never seen Kota jump so high before! They both would dart for them and search all over. Kota started looking up at the tree each time, maybe thinking that's where they went. The wind would blow every now and then, and small pieces of ice would fall from the tree. Kota and Benny would run over excitedly every time! Then they would both stare at me, waiting for the next snowball to chase. I had to laugh, Kota started chasing them into the snow piles and would bury her whole face in the snow! Believe it or not, they actually started to get pretty good at finding my snowballs and picking them out of the snow! Benny got pretty good at catching a few that I would throw too. If Kota would find one, she grabbed it out and would jump around and shake her head, then toss it and finally bite it to pieces! I think we all had a lot of fun today!!
