We had our first big snow over the weekend. It’s always fun to watch how a puppy who has never seen snow will react to it.
It was early, like 4am early, and Mabel made it clear that she had to go outside. As I opened the door, I could see that there were about 4-5 inches of snow on the ground. Mabel stood on the porch while I walked out onto the driveway calling her. She wasn’t sure what to do. She finally ventured down the step and stared at me.
She eventually did her business (on the driveway) and flew back up to the porch. All she wanted was to go inside.
As the day progressed, she would go outside and go further into the yard. It helped that the kids went outside with her.
It has now become a chore to get her to come back in the house! There has been more than one occasion when I’ve had to chase her around the yard. I’m sure that she finds it humorous to make me run around after her.
She has had no problem adjusting to her new home. She even loves taking rides in the car. She loves taking a trip up to the school to pick up Ella at the end of the day.
In the short time she has been with us, she has become one of the family. She is growing fast, too. It won’t be long before she is as big as me.
