when i woke up yesterday, there was a couple inches of fresh powder on the ground. i put on some pants and about 3 layers of jackets (coats are on their way here from virginia), snow boots, gloves, and a hat. i grabbed our snow shovel and headed out to clear our driveway before it turned into ice. i let my dog, ola, out while i was shoveling.
she. went. spastic.
it was probably the most amazing thing i've ever seen. she went tearing around the cul-de-sac like a greyhound after a bunny. she was literally bouncing at one point. she would randomly stop, eat a chunk of show, and take off again.
our neighbor's kids were also out playing in the snow. she and them have played before, but never in snow. they were chasing each other around, playing like loons. at one point, the boys were pulling each other around on a plastic sled. ola would run along side, then attempt to climb on the moving sled. with one of the boys on it. needless to say, this sent them both rolling for a few feet.
later, the kids were making snow angels and i'm not sure ola thought they were doing, but she would run over to them, stare at them like they're crazy, then go bounding across the cul-de-sac again.
i think the funniest thing she did was while she was running around all crazy-like, she stopped...picked up a random chunk of snow...and carried it to a pile that i had made in the yard from shoveling snow off of driveway. she looked at me, watched me for a while, then wandered off again.
she's a dork. and she's adorable. and my brother's going to be bringing her snow boots with him when he flies in next week, so i'm stoked. i can take her out to play in the snow more ^_^
