Sadie our dog
discovered snow
for the first time today! Even though she had seen snow before she was never really interested in playing with it because it was unknown; and therefore scary to her.
Before, she would just sniff at it momentarily when it felt different she would just go do her duty and proceed to try to run like a bullet
back into the house.
But today Chris and our youngest son Alexi decided to throw snowballs
for her to catch.
She would jump up to catch them
and they would disappear into snow dust as she tried to grab them between her teeth! She would go nuts after wards sniffing around trying to find the "ball"
!
It was so funny
to watch her searching for it!
The interesting thing was she wasn't upset or angry because she couldn't find exactly what she was looking for. Instead she would roll around in the snow totally enjoying the new experience
.
She would sniff it, taste it, paw at it and totally take it all in!
If only we humans could totally give in and enjoy
the things we have, instead of being angry at the things we don't have
!
See Sadie could have been so upset because she didn't catch the "Ball" that she could have refused 
to enjoy all the other things that were going on around her.
But instead, she decided that if she couldn't catch the "ball" she could still enjoy the snow
!
I wonder how many wonderful experiences I had missed because I was too busy lamenting what I didn't have? Sometimes when we are wishing for our boat to come in we are at the airport wondering where our boat is!
We need to embrace the moment to fully appreciate everything life has to offer!
It is do funny how some people say dogs are just dumb animals, yeah, right! There was absolutely nothing dumb about our big goofy dog as she was having the time of her life rolling in the snow!
We humans were the ones that could learn a thing or two from the way they take every little bit nature has to offer in!
Hey guys can I play too?
