The Snow Poodle

Mum has promised me that we will make a snow poodle at some point this winter. With an unusually warm winter and with very little snow, this has proven hard. But today, we got our (last) chance!

It was a bit too warm so it wasn't easy. Had the snow been colder we could have worked more on the finish, but we're happy with it! Mum said we shouldn't give it a name because it would melt away before the end of the day.

Anyway. Pleased with ourselves, we went walkies in the oak meadows. Coming back to check on it before we went inside, we saw another dog approaching. A floor mop like, out-of-control, one-year-old rascal. Grrr. He wanted to say hello, and then he wanted to check out my snow poodle. I told him off, because he was too much and after all, it was MY snow poodle. Little did it help. Guess what he did? He peed on it!! Three times. And then knocked it over! Extremely rude.

It was nearly gone when we went bedtime walkies. Next winter, we need to start making snow poodles earlier in the season. And get some kind of protection in place for them.
