I know a lot of people who aren't fond of Winter, but I've always been a fan. I love winter sports, I love snowball fights and I love the crazy designs that Jack Frost paints across my windows. Sure it's cold, but look at how pretty it is!
Covered in a blanket of snow, my street and all my neighbours seem to be hibernating inside. When I took this picture I couldn't believe it. Before I got Washburn I would sleep the day away and when I finally woke up I would appreciate a snowy day from inside, wrapped in my down feather duvet, sipping hot chocolate. Now I'm up early enough to get the first tracks in the snow on fresh snowy mornings! It's cold, but the air is so crisp and fresh. I think it's sad that more people can't appreciate it. The night before I took this Wash and I took a midnight stroll. Here are a few of my favourite shots.
The one thing I didn't anticipate about having a dog in the winter is how hard it is to keep your dog, not to mention your house clean. Wash either comes home after every walk covered in matted snowballs, or soaked from the slush, or dripping from mud, dirt, and sand. He's so filthy that he knows to walk straight into the bathroom, step into the shower and wait for me to clean off his feet and belly. For whatever reason he hasn't gotten used to the idea of me washing him, but he knows enough to go to the shower... odd.
Here's my little scruff ball, not looking quite as little as I think he should. Just turned 5 months, and dapper as ever, but you can tell that I need to trim the hair around his eyes. I call those wisps his wings, and when they block the darkness of his eyes I know it's time for a trim!
Tomorrow: Trim Wings. Clip Nails. Crazy Brushing Frenzy!
Washburn Update:
-passed puppy classes. Intermediate starts in 2 weeks.
-training is still constant. He's getting smarter, so taking more time to do simple commands. Has a problem with "Come", so taking away off leash privileges.
-all his sharp puppy teeth are gone. Big round Adult teeth now. (Comparison pictures to come)
