Snow Hound

It is snowing today and it is the favorite weather of one of my 3 dogs. She is a husky mix and just loves cold weather. This is the dog, that on slightly warm days, will make a bee line to her water bowl (which is a small livestock water tank) and jump in it and lay in the ice cold water. Cold weather is what she loves. She previously came from a family with a small baby and lived in town. At the age of 6 months old she found herself at the local dog pound, surrendered by her owners as being too active to be around their baby......duh, baby + 6 month old puppy? What were those people thinking? The woman already knew she was pregnant or already had the baby when they got the pup.

Well she ended up with us after I saw this beautiful young dog at the pound. I got her spayed, tattooed (her spay tat) and licensed and she has now been with us for 5 years.

She is overly friendly and when she wags her tail, her whole body moves. She almost falls over backwards when she sits and wants you to rub her tummy. A neighbor saw her spay tat and made a stupid remark about tattoo removal, which I ignored. Since he never bothers to get his animals fixed, I am sure he has no clue what the tattoo meant.

Yep, she is enjoying our late season snow storm.
