Well we had a big dump of snow at the beach.  Snow right to the sea. It never snows at the beach!!!  Its the most I have ever seen while living in Christchurch. Also the dogs. They went crazy biting and playing in the snow. They have 2 coats on to keep warm. Got down to  minus 2C last night and a huge frost this morning. See photo gallery.
Puppies 3 weeks old . Microchipped and DNA tested. They are growing real fast. Daisy has been a perfect mum keeping them all clean and tidy!!!
