Snow

Zorra is completely obsessed with the snow, though I assume most dogs are. This is her first winter and her first time seeing snow. When the flakes start to fall outside my window she props herself up on the arm of the chair to get a better view.

Once we are outside she is crazy. Depending on the type of snow her actions change. If it is light and fluffy she rolls around in it and sticks her head in to get a good sniff. If it is hard and icy she digs and digs to get a better sniff and tries to break up pieces and carry these precious treasures inside. If there are icicles, she picks them up and flings them in the air, chases after them, and licks them till they are gone.

Recently, everything is slushy and melting. She seems to like this as well because she enjoys throwing herself at puddles and running and sliding all around. Essentially, I have learned in the short time I have been with her that NOTHING is more enjoyable then being outside. Unless of course she is outside alone, which results in her howling for my return. :-)
