Murphy insisted on going to Tahoe for New Years Eve. He was missing his old friends in the neighborhood and wanted to see some snow deeper than the three inches he experienced as a tiny puppy. He wouldn't be disappointed.
Murphy took us on a walk to the local beach access on New Years Eve morning. As you can see, it has been really cold in Lake Tahoe. I didn't quite get the camera level, but the ice on the rocks and small bush stump is clearly visible. The ice on the rocks made walking near the water risky.
That didn't stop Murphy, though. He seemed to have a little more traction than we did. Murphy didn't know what to make of the small waves around this sunken rock.
He even waded in to check out some rocks. Here, he stuck his nose into the water to grab a rock. I promptly made him spit it out. This is the same beach we took him to when he was super small.
Here, Murphy shows off his superior traction once again. I couldn't...er...wouldn't get up on the rock, so I put Murphy up on it. He made his way down before Kelly could get picture of him looking at the camera, but it still came out okay.
Here, we are back at the cabin, but Murhpy still wanted to explore the snow. He loves to dig in it, and sometimes he finds something. Usually a pine cone, one of his favorite chew toys.
Murphy finally calmed down, and just wanted to sit in the sun. Can't really complain about that.
