Snowy
was a pup no one wanted. He was a special needs dog as he had a bad
skin condition. His skin was bright red and oozing. No one wanted to adopt
him, but I did. I brought him to my vet. He did tests and found what he was
allergic to. With the right food and allergy shots he is happy and healthy.
People tell me that Snowy is lucky that I found him. Not true. I am the
lucky one. Not a day goes by that he doesn't make me laugh or give me loving.
When I am home, he follows me all over the house. Wherever I am, there he is.
He is my baby boy and I love him dearly.
I've had him for four years now. He loves playing with his brother Alex a golden
retriever, and his two sisters Emily, a lab mix and Angel a lab/border collie
mix. The cattle dog definitely comes out in him as he is always trying to herd
the other dogs. Every night when he knows that it is almost time for dinner
he tries to herd me into the kitchen to feed him. He loves going for walks
and that's when the husky comes out in him as he always has to be leading
the pack. He will keep checking behind him to make sure the other dogs aren't
going to pass him. If he stops to smell something along the way, and one of
the other dogs do get ahead, he must run to catch up and surpass them. Once
he does he gets a little smile on his face and swaggers on ahead.
He loves laying on the couch in the front room to bask in the sunlight, to
watch what is going on outside, or to take a nap. He loves when company comes
over as I think he thinks they come over just to see him. He is the ultimate
host, greeting his guests and paying attention to each one. Snowy has to be
one of the happiest dogs I've ever had. He is constantly smiling and just
loving life.
