Winter's here!

Woof!

Hello again people, I'm very excited today because of all the snow! I weren't too sure of it to begin with but once I was leaping around in the stuff I discovered it was o so much fun! It has been snowing for a few days now, but this morning was the first where it was nice and deep and good for fluffing up and covering myself in it. I've also recently discovered ice, and that is seriously fun to skate on, I like doing circles on my icy patio!

This my first ever winter, and Igaboo is doing everything she can to make sure I stay safe and healthy. Neither of us were too sure of how I would react to ice and snow, but like most dogs, I love it, it's fun to run in and sniff about it, it's o so different and new! I even had a go at trying to make snow angels, but I just made a messy dog shaped hole in the snow, Igaboo didn't seem to want to participate, well, her lost! She's too concerned making sure I stay warm, I have a coat for when I'm out on proper walks, but if I'm just in our garden then I don't wear one because I'm only out there for about 10 minutes. It's important to be aware of how long a lil puppy is out in the cold, and to make sure it's not too long so your lil pup doesn't get too cold. A coat is fantastic for this as it can lengthen walks in the wintertime. It's also essential to dry me off when we get inside, I have tufts of long fur and lots of snow had stuck to them, and all the moistness of it made me quite wet, but its essential to dry me off because it could freeze and having cold water near my skin isn't going to do me any favours, luckily I like the hair dryer, so always get a spruce with one when I get in!

This afternoon I'm going to be having a relax and then I know Igaboo will be taking me for another walk later on, just because it's cold doesn't mean you should lack a regular walking routine. My only trouble is I wanna be out in the snow all day it's so fun, I'm even naughty enough to not come when called like I normally would because of how fun snow is! I'm going for a snooze now and see what other Christmas decorations I can reach and destroy.....
