At dog walk one yesterday morning the fields looked grey and icy and very cold
Roger who has never seen snow before, looked perplexed as he went on tip toe into the white ice
Is was up to four inches in places and he looked uncomfortable and looked to Mary to teach him what to do.
Every few seconds in he bit mouthfulls of the snow and let the coldness fall at his feet.
He’s a darling
I loved him even more when he sat down at one moment, his eyes wide with shock with his arse in the cold
During college he sat next to me facing the camera
Watching everyone on line as Welsh terriers do
The counsellors on line waved at him and called his name at the end of class
And he smiled as terriers do and sat unmoving like a puppet , enjoying the attention offered.
It’s 6.15 am and the lane is covered again with snow, fingers crossed I can get to work
Go carefully, John. No snow here, but it is bitterly cold. Xx
ReplyDeleteThe storm is on it's way, no sow yet, just a bit of wind.
ReplyDeleteI had a dog who absolutely loved snow. One summer we took a trip to the north (to mountains) and it was a very long drive and fly (with very small aircraft, which few weeks later ended upside down on the lake), so after 2 days of travelling he saw a small patch of snow. He looked at the snow, looked at us and ran to the snow. He spent something like half an hour rolling on the snow, eating it, hiding his head under the snow... Finally he just sat there looking at us with a big grin "Oh the trip really was worth ALL troubles!" Never seen happier dog. Oh I do miss him, he was smartest dog I ever met - way too smart for me. He got cancer and on the day he was to put down, there was small snow storm, first snow of the autunm. I took him outside and he just laid down on the snow, most likely he knew it was the last time ever he'd see snow.
Hope you stay safe.

I love to see animals venturing out into their first snow. Tentative steps, sniffing, shaking paws, tasting, until they realise, it may be cold and wet, but it's OK. By the sound of it, Roger has a growing fan club. Well deserved, he's such a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteDrive safely. Hopefully, by the time you're on your way back home, the snow will have melted.🤞xx
Take care John, safe travels Kath x
ReplyDeleteNo snow in my part of SW Wales, but cold. We've had a lovely pink sky this morning, which maybe doesn't bode well. Take care.
