SNOW IN THE DESERT

Wow! I woke up at 5:45 this morning to let my puppies out and Surprize, Surprize, Snow. Wallace my Chow mix didn't even look and ran out and stopped dead in his tracts. He didn't want to move forward and he didn't want to turn around and come back in. He kinda twisted his body in some weird contortionist way like a pretzel and just jumped straight up and back in the door. I was ROTFLOL. I wish I had had a camera.
Just wanted to share that with you all. It was a great way to start my day.

Whenever we had a cat new to snow, my dad liked to pick them up and dump them out the front door in to it. Too funny! :)

I got a good laugh from your description, it must have been something to see in real life. A great way to start the day, well, maybe not so great for the dog. Sooner or later he's gotta go.

Dogs can be so much fun to watch the first time they experience snow. The first time our border collie Misty went out in snow she'd take a step and sniff her front paw, then take a another step and sniff her other front paw. After a few steps she decided it wasn't anything bad. She loves to play frisbee and since we don't get a big snow often when it does snow she's outside trying to catch the snowflakes - I wonder if she thinks they are mini frisbees??? lol

Young colts & fillies coming out of the barn into their first snow experience.....usually on their rear legs for a while.....then they can't wait to get loose and explode in that white stuff.
.........Yeee-Haaa, race ya lil sister..and there they all go..running, bucking, Slippin' & Slidin'.....miss a step and flop on their sides, snortin' and rolling in the snow.
It never gets OLD ;o)

PS, IMHO..'THAT' is the only thing 'SNOW' is good for ;-P

Really funny description of your dog Jan. I love to watch animals find snow for the first time.

One of my Shelties was raised in a barn till I bought her at 3 months of age. She was introduced to snow just two weeks later. She ran out the door, into the snow, and promptly became a Pepe-le-peu cartoon character with stiff legs sproinging through the snow at as fast a speed as a little puppies legs could sproing. Up and down she went through the snow until she fell down on her side exhausted. We laughed till our sides were sore.

If only a person could anticipate things like these happening you could make money on the TV with videos of them. Fun memories though.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! somewhere else
