Dog snow day

Large chunks of the country are being blanketed by snow today. Eastern Canada, in particular, is experiencing the kind of storm that's already rewriting history and laying down lifelong memories for all who live there.

None of this matters to Calli the Wonderschnauzer. As she is most weekend mornings, she's just as happy to sit on the back of the living room couch and take it all in. And I'm just as happy to sit here, quietly, and watch her.

That said, this is a dog who absolutely loves snow. This morning's walk was spent with her nose firmly buried in a fresh layer of it. She bounced out of the house, threw herself into the first snowbank she could find, and pulled hard the entire time we were out. If only I could borrow some of her energy.

As we both sit here by the window and watch the white stuff fall, I ponder why we got a dog in the first place. So many reasons, really, and each of them would be more than enough to validate the decision.

But on this day, in this spot, a dog's innate ability to drink in the moment without being bothered by anything else seems like the best reason of all.

Blinkered vision. Where can I get some of that for myself?
