Dog Happiness

No one would ever think that going for a walk, with the cold wind whipping your face and fat snowflakes flying around you, would be much fun. But that is the walk I took this morning with Olive and Drifter and it was fabulously entertaining. I laughed a lot, which often happens with my border collie/aussie. But when you have two of these personality-filled dogs, hilarity ensues.

Olive goes slightly crazy in weather with wind and wet. She races around, circling and forming figure eights, often with stick in mouth. Drifter joined in at times, although less enthusiastically. We came upon a snow patch, both dogs jumping into it to roll, romp and play with one another.

We saw one other person from afar, that was all. And at the end I felt light despite the cold and both dogs were ready for water and naps.

A good start for the day.
