While throwing a tennis ball to my dog last week in a snow storm, I came up with a list of reasons why I’d rather be a dog than a human when it snows:
- Dogs don’t ever have to shovel.
- You can play in the snow for a really long time and never get cold.
- Dogs don’t have to put up with people who don’t know how to drive in the snow, stopping on a dime, so you have to swerve into a ditch to avoid rear-ending them.
- You can sit and stare out the window at the snow falling for hours and no one thinks you should be doing something or that you’ve lost your mind.
- Snow on your head will not give you a bad hair day.
- You don’t have to spend an extra ten minutes putting on ski socks, boots, a hat, gloves, a scarf, a face mask just to take a walk. All you need is a human and a leash.
- If the roof of the house caves in from the weight of the snow, it doesn’t affect your life – at all.
- You love it when the kids have a snow day.
- You love it when snow sand-blasts your face at 90 miles an hour from the snowblower.
- If you had to eat yellow snow to survive, it really wouldn’t be a problem.
So fun. I'm going to post this on The Animal Store Facebook Page. You should be doing a little more promoting (ahem, Twitter, FB). Your Fairy God Blog Teacher.
