Dogs in a winter wonderland

So the beautiful thing about winter coming up is the fact that snow starts falling on the ground.  And all my dogs love to run through it. Every year, the snow and my dogs mix, leaving wet footprints all over our hardwood floors. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching them run through prancing in the snow.  But the bad thing is, if we let them run through and leave tracks, then our floors could possibly be ruined.  Every time they run out we have to wipe them off. The most adorable site to see though is your canine running through the snow, or watching it fall and not knowing what to do. Another good thing about having a dog in winter is that they can keep you warm. Of course they are good for alot more things, but still its one of the many things they can do. It's also kinda funny when you put presents out and they either sniff at them or completly destroy them. They just dont understand that it isnt for them. And then it's sad watching their cute little puppy faces staring up at you, so you want to give them a treat. So far Molly has been really good around our stuff, not tearing it up or anything. We put up totes in front of our living room so they cant go into the other room anyways. The dogs get excited when we start our anual decorations for Christmas. They get presents too every year, and we say Santa and Abby jumps up and gets excited. She has watched so many shows with him on it and we always say it along with toys and stuff so she knows who that represents, or what it represents. You can say she "believes" but she is just excited for all the toys she gets. I guess dogs are smart in alot of ways. Understanding what alot of things mean. They arent dumb mindless animals, and i believe that they are capable of thinking, and even more understanding than we think they can. They have hearts, and can do some amazing things. And maybe some things are fantasy, but they understand what you are talking about. If you spell words they can figure out what you mean. Even if you dont say them all the way they understand what you were going to say. They bond to us easily, and love us unconditionally. They may tear up your stuff or gnaw on your arm, but they can be the best friend that you were always searching for. They are excellent cuddlers, and they can learn fast. Being amazing companions, why not spoil them rotten? Treating them like our furry babies? They deserve it dont they? They are always there for us, helping us, and we learn from them.
Dogs are amazing. They are fun to watch, and fun to play with. They have alot to offer us, and we have alot we can give to them. Make winter fun for them. Help them to believe in Santa, and to let them explore the vast winter wonderland.
