Thursday Afternoon with Snow Dog

[nightdog_barks]

Just a few shots from a few minutes ago. It's still coming down. :-D



C'mon!


I'll go up here ...


My domain!


Okay, I'm getting wet up here ... (notice she's still got the ball)

This!

*beams*

Our girl. She's asleep now. *g*

Yay! You are great! When reading your first post, I thought, hey, I would like some pictures of that. I almost asked, but hey, I didn't have to. Chango is sooo adorable. :-D

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

That's our girl! We think she's part Border Collie, part Chow, with maybe some Black Lab. She was an SPCA puppy.

That's her in the icon.

Cute!

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

And she knows it! She'll go up to TOTAL STRANGERS and sit down to be petted. Anyone that comes to the door is obviously there to see HER.

;-)

[srsly-yes.livejournal.com]

But of course they are! I'm a sucker for friendly dogs. :)

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Oh, she'd love you. She'd come and sit down right next to you and lean against your legs ... so you don't have to reach too far to pet her. Heh.

[zulu]

Best day EVER? Chango thinks YES.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Hee! She is puzzled but happy!

[misanthropicobs.livejournal.com]

My four are definitely in the category of stay inside and sleep. Three of them ventured outside for about 5 minutes earlier this morning and since then have refused to go beyond the door.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Yep, it took Chango a long time to gather up enough nerve to go out this morning, and then it was only because there was a squirrel perched on one of the feeders. I think her chase-the-prey instinct won out over her ZOMG COLD WET CRYSTALLY STUFF ON MY PAWS IT'S NOT RIGHT!!!!

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

Doggy!

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Happy doggy! Well, sleepy doggy now. *g*

[pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com]

It's very, very important to never put the ball down. Somebody might GET IT. :D

She is so cute, especially with her tipped-down ears and those dainty feet.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Even at six years old, she's still not terribly clear on the concept of dropping the ball so that one of us can throw it. *g*

She really does have small feet! They're almost a mismatch with the rest of her, because she's a good-sized dog (she weighs about 75 pounds).

[pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com]

We taught Rocket the "drop it" command accompanied by a hand gesture, or else he'd never put his toys down. :)

Chango looks so much like a black version of our Eskie girls. They also had dainty feet for their size. It was kind of funny getting used to Rocket's feet, which are as wide as his stout little legs.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Chango's idea of TEH BEST BALL GAME EVAH (along with all the other best games) is to play-growl FEROCIOUSLY while you hold her collar, then suddenly drop the ball and RUN AWAY so you can throw it to her. At which point she comes back and dances around until you can grab her collar again. Everything else she'll drop on command.

It's entirely possible she's got some admixture of American Eskimo! It's really hard to tell what all's in there -- her two siblings looked like German Shepherds.

Chango is adorable! *g*

So, has Mare ever done a drawing/painting of her?
It would turn out so marvelously, if she hasn't!

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Not yet, but Mr. N said a couple of weeks ago that he wants to commission something.

:-)

[takes-a-fairy.livejournal.com]

=D

Ooooh...I'm def' looking forward to that!! hee

[m-supercomputer.livejournal.com]

Aww, so cute! ♥ My dog has not been having too much fun with the snow - he will go out to go to the bathroom, and then *run* back into the house. Of course, this is the first day in a while that wasn't all blizzard-y and the snow's still tall enough to be over his *head,* so I can't really blame him.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yeah, while this is a LOT of snow for us, I know it doesn't begin to compare with what others are having!

It's been a whole day, and she's still a little nervous. *g*

[angelofidiots.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you got snow and I, in Boston, got a tiny, rapidly melting dusting where an epic blizzard was promised. And now it's melting, so it's ugly slush with brown grass (or just mud) poking through. I wonder why anybody lives up here in the first place.
Also, your dog is adorable. =) What kind is she?

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

I don't know how we lucked out! It's been snowing ALL DAY, and it's so pretty.

Chango's a mutt. *g* She was an SPCA puppy, so we don't know for sure what's in her ancestry. We think she might be part Border Collie, with maybe some Chow and Black Lab mixed in. Her two siblings at the SPCA looked like German Shepherd puppies -- tan with black markings.

[angelofidiots.livejournal.com]

Well, you hit the jackpot, she's gorgeous! =)

[rivercrossing2.livejournal.com]

Awwww! I love dogs. She's adorable! That's really great that she loves the snow! Thanks for sharing. :)

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

It was my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed!

:-D

[taiga13.livejournal.com]

What a lovely dog!

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

*g*

She's our happy girl!

[verbal-kint10.livejournal.com]

Aww, Chango seems like the sweetest thing ever, and she's adorable. :)

This totally made my morning!

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad it made your morning.

:-D
