Well, not really a Wonderland, but it snowed tonite!!! Yay! My first snow storm at home since, well, I've been home! But, tonight was a huge milestone! It was Dollie's first snow, ever! (my 7 1/2 yr old Miniature Dachshund). I rescued her in Miami, and this is her first winter in the North. She is absolutely hating the cold!
Well, tonight, it finally snowed! I put her little doggy-I'm-a-thug sweatshirt on her, (it's two sizes too big for her so she looks like she's gong to rob a bank wearing it) put the hood over her head, and my dad and I grabbed the cameras! It was going to be a very memorable night!
I had to carry her down the steps because they were too slippery for her to go down them, I didn't want her falling on her face. So I put her down in about a cm. of snow.. Surprisingly, she didn't turn around and run back up the stairs like she does if it's too cold for her! She actually walked, more like waddled, into the middle of the street and circled and circled, went up on the neighbors lawn, circled around more and kept trying to sit down to find a place for her business. It was adorable! She was trying and trying! Took her like five minutes to finally decide where to go!
We got her to walk around for a bit more until finally she said F-this, I'm goin home!! Then she waddled home...
She made me so proud, I know what a mother feels like when their child does something new for the first time! I was teary..my little baby is growing up ;(
Can't wait to play in the snow with her again in the am!
Hope it snows more tomorrow!
