Snow angel

Snow, typically rare in Washington, is getting to be a bad habit this winter. Once again we were dusted with the white stuff and Chava had the chance to experience her first snow. She was not impressed.

At first when she walked onto the deck she turned around and ran back toward the door. Thanks to the leash that wasn't an option so she stood still and shivered, hoping I'd take pity on her. Nope. I carried her off the deck into the grass for her bathroom break and she started walking through the grass like it was mud or something - lifting her little legs as high as they would go with each step. Finally she made it under the fir trees where the ground looked pretty normal. In this photo you see her trying to hide out under a fern, only to discover that there was snow on top of it that fell on her.

When the ordeal was over and she was finally back in the house she ran around in circles like a wild child, ecstatic that things were still normal inside the house - well as normal as life can be with three rat terriers running around.
