Winter has finally come to Chicago.\u00a0 Today was our first real snow day.\u00a0 Up until now, they had registered only 1.9 inches at O’Hare.\u00a0 Our typical for this time of year is around 12 inches.\u00a0 Needless to say, it was nice.\u00a0 I’m not a snow fan and the cold really gets to me.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>We had maybe 3 or 4 inches by 4:30.<\/p>\n

So today was Sascha’s first day of snow since she joined us.\u00a0 The last snow barely covered the grass so it was hard to tell how she would react to it.\u00a0 She was outside when it started and didn’t seem to notice it much.\u00a0 I brought her and she napped quietly.\u00a0 All except for Rich trying to use her as a foot warmer!\u00a0 Got to admit, she is soft and fuzzy.\u00a0 She was patient and put up with him adjusting her body over his bare feet.\u00a0 I rescued her after a few minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I put her after a while and there was a pretty good ground cover.\u00a0 She went rooting through the snow with her nose and rolling in it.\u00a0 I’m pretty sure she saw snow when she was living in the rescue kennel.\u00a0 For Pete’s sake, she was on the dog sledding team!\u00a0 Anyway, she was enjoying the snow and the cold.\u00a0 I couldn’t get her in the house for the next 3 hours!\u00a0 She was just look at me with the great disdain of a husky.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rick came home from school and I immediately sent him out to shovel thedriveway.\u00a0 Sascha, of course,had to go out, too!\u00a0 She rolled around, had snow thrown on top of her, andburrowed into a small mountain that Rick made as he worked to clear the drive.\u00a0 He did a great job.\u00a0 Thanks, Rick.\u00a0 And Sascha was soaking wet.\u00a0 Thanks, Sascha. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The great thing about a dog is coming home at the end of a hard day and having that happy tail to\u00a0meet you.\u00a0 Then, you also get greeted in the best way by Sascha.\u00a0 She wants to curl up in your lap.\u00a0 She seems to prefer that you sit in\u00a0Rich’s\"\"<\/a> big red chair in the living room or in Rich’s office chair.\u00a0 Wait, could there be\u00a0a common link here?\u00a0 She only wants things that have to do with Rich?\u00a0 Why isn’t Sascha his dog then?\u00a0 So why am I feeing her? Secretly, I like it when she sits in my lap.<\/p>\n
