Aussie the snow Pup

Yesterday morning we awoke to a surprising 6 inches of snow. As the day continued that measurement just continued to grow. Aussie has seen her first snow. However the experience of cold powder reaching up to tickle her belly is a new sensation.


She gingerly stepped in the snowfall while she sniffed the ground. Once she got over the initial shock of it she decided that she liked this white stuff and went tearing through the back yard. She went back and forth, up and down, over and under, and all over the place. She would dig her nose deep into a snow drift then flip her head up in the air flinging snow everywhere! She was even trying to pounce the falling snow and trying to catch the flakes in her mouth! When we were finally able to get her to come back inside she had a pile of snow sitting on her snout! Her face was covered in white. It was so funny! Adam and I had a great time watching her; we even made a song about her adventures. It goes like this:

Aussie the snow pup
Was a very spastic dog
She’d run here and there jumping everywhere
Even chewing on the logs

Aussie the snow pup
With her nose all tuft with snow
She’d slide here and there crashing everywhere
It was fun to see her go!

There must have been some Husky in that young Australian pup
For when they placed her in the snow she began to lick it up!
Aussie the snow dog
Tried to lick at people’s hands
So we’d tell her no so she’d lick the snow
then barked catch me if you can

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Aussie go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow


I will have to take some picture and I will post them soon.
Happy Snow Day!
