Spencer’s birthday and the BIG Snowstorm

Spencer and mom

Selene’s diary: My brother Spencer turned 8 years old on February 8. We all got to go to Sonics for ice cream for celebration. Mom also made a beef roast with potatoes and carrots for us. It was a great day.

A week later, the BIG snowstorm came. I had seen snow one time at an agility trial In Cleburne, Texas, but I did not get to run off leash, I was dragging mom along and it was fun to see snow the first time.

The morning of February 13th, the weather started to go bad. It was icy outside and Sophie had to go to the vet. Spencer and I stayed home and it was very cold. We woke up the morning of Valentine’s Day and our yard was covered in snow. Mom took Sophie for a walk and dad took Spencer. I stayed home, still wearing my bootie because of my cracked paw. 

By morning of the 15th, more snow had fallen, and it was dad’s birthday. Mom could not pull Sophie’s wheelchair through the thick snow, so she came back into the house and got me. I had to walk with the one bootie on and there was ice in some spots and I even slipped once. It was fun walking in the snow.

Spencer and I got to play in the snow for 4 days before it started to melt. It was fun although it was cold. We did not lose power so at least it was warm inside the house. We lost water one day but I got plenty to eat. It sure was a fun filled few days. No classes, no training, just playing in the snow.
