If you have a puppy who has never seen the snow, you have to at least record it for posterity, don't you? Well I did, so there. In the South of England we don't get that much snow and even when we do, it is very very rarely proper snow and never as much as many other parts of the UK. In fact by comparison to the current picture our level of snow is paltry and nothing to get that excited about, maybe I'll say different tomorrow, we'll see.
With access to mobile phones with such good cameras for stills and video, plus a compact digital camera which can do the same makes you realise how lucky you are. When we got Louie our first Tibbie and Nemo our second, we didn't have a digital camera. So their early years weren't so extensively filmed as our current boy. I've gone well over the top with taking pictures of this Tibbie, but it is a shame I couldn't have captured our previous boys in as much detail, sigh......
So how did Finlay react to the snow. Those of you reading this that have Tibetan Spaniels already know the answer don't you!! He went out first thing this morning and we had only the very lightest of dustings of snow, so he snuffled around and had a puppy zoomie. To be honest it doesn't take much to set him off on a zoomie anyway, so this wasn't that unexpected. Then finally during the afternoon we started to have some snow that actually looked pretty impressive and started to cover the lawn, so Finlay went out in the garden again.
The video below represents several videos stitched together, if you have been following Finlay's story, you won't be surprised to know that the joker strikes again. He absolutely loves the cold anyway, even in the snow-free mornings we've had the last week where the temperatures have been zero or lower, he just wanders around the garden and lays down for a bit watching the world go by. Seemingly oblivious to the cold. He went out in the deeper laying snow this afternoon and started to snuffle around, almost shovelling his nose through the snow. He then went on to have a wail of a time charging around the garden. He is so funny, you cannot help but be entertained by him, he just loves life so much.
The video is a bit long, but as I said, you have to capture the first snow interaction! Watching this video back made me realise just how much of his adult coat is starting to appear, he is looking mighty impressive. Hopefully the judge will think so too on Sunday when we go to the SW Tibetan Spaniel show, assuming the weather lets us.
