First Snow!

*Shoves Feef out of the way* Hey! I gotta tell ya about SNOW! Man oh man I couldn't believe it! I bailed out of the dog door the other morning and holy cow! It was amazing! There was white stuff EVERYWHERE! I could feel my skin tingle as my recently-become-abundant fur fluffed itself up. Mom opened the door for Feef and when that little priss saw the snow she ran back into her Fifi-cave and hid. Mom had to track her down and pitch her sissyness out with me. I was already off and running! There was still snow falling and I tried catching a few pieces of it. It's COLD! Then I realized I could just stick my face in the stuff that was already on the ground. I ran along like that for a while. The real ground is UNDER this stuff still, and hard as ever, but this snow stuff just fluffs out of the way.
I ran into the house and told Mom what was going on outside. She didn't seem too impressed so I went back outside. And in again. And out again. And in again. Wow! This stuff is cool! Mom finally came outside to enjoy the fun. She tossed my ball and it disappeared in the snow. I really had to look to find it. Then she threw a snowball, and that was really hard to find but I did! Then when I picked it up, it broke! Mom just laughed and made me a new one. When she threw it, I ran fast, and found it even quicker than the first time, but it still broke when I picked it up. I like the snow!
Then when we got to work, there was snow there too! I had no trouble reading everyone's "pee-mail" because in the snow, you can SEE it as well as smell it. It was tough having to stay inside with Mom when there was so much snow outside but I did. I strut around mom's work like I own the place. Everyone says I'm So Handsome! I believe it! Some people say "He's So Big". At 13 lbs, I outweigh one of my brothers by 8 lbs! Mom tells everyone I'm an Kaniksu Giant Mountain Pom.
Mom's crazy, she insisted on picking me up and carrying me across the road and front sidewalks muttering about salt and chemicals on HER boy's paws - no way! I hope everyone who reads this remembers that even though snow is very cool, us dogs can be affected by it. Remember to keep us away from antifreeze spills and the snow melting chemicals, both of which could be harmful to us pets. Watch for snowball buildup in our paws, because that can be a real pain if our paw's get snow-burns. Be sure our coats are combed out well and no mats can get wet. When they dry, they shrink you know, and it hurts when you comb them out! Also be sure our water dishes aren't frozen solid and that we always have fresh water so we're not tempted to eat too much snow. It can give us some tummy upset.
So while the Feef is not impressed with the snow, I LOVE IT. Give me more! I'm up for it!
