Washington, DC woke up to a magical snow day today, transforming the city into a winter wonderland. While we humans may have been scrambling to find our shovels and boots, DC’s canine residents were out living their best lives. From Dupont Circle to Rock Creek Park, fluffy friends took full advantage of the snow—frolicking, leaping, and wagging their way through the powdery goodness.
We love the snow—especially when there’s a lot of it and many of us get off (thanks OPM!) or can take it easy working from home. One of our favorite things to do on a snow day is to head to our favorite dog park to let our pups play. Some dogs just love being out in the snow—it’s pure joy!
Instagram-Worthy Moments
If you’ve been scrolling Instagram, you’ve probably noticed an influx of posts of dogs in the snow. Whether it’s a golden retriever diving into a snowbank or a French bulldog donning the cutest winter jacket, these pups are showing us how to embrace the joy of a snow day.
The Best Spots for Snowy Dog Fun
Rock Creek Park is always a favorite for dog owners, but smaller parks like Lincoln Park and Shaw Dog Park also became hotspots for impromptu dog meetups. Dog owners swapped tips for keeping their pets warm and shared laughs as their furry companions darted through the snow like little rockets.
Keeping Your Pup Safe in the Snow
While snow days are loads of fun, it’s important to keep safety in mind. Make sure your dog’s paws are protected from ice and salt by using paw balm or booties. And don’t forget to dry them off thoroughly after playtime to prevent chills.
