Haiku by Dog: Snowflakes
Tweet
Today’s haiku is by Lilah.
One could look at the photo above and think it’s a picture of a poor sad dog left out in a snowstorm.
It is a dog in a snowstorm; that part is true. But sad? Just the opposite.
Lilah dances into a storm, her black fur a perfect medium to collect snowflakes.
She plows through the snow on the ground, scooping up mouthfuls of frozen cold, her banner tail waving in glorious joy.
She digs in the snow, pushing her snout in and coming up with a faceful of flakes.
She runs through the snow, except when it’s deep; then she Tiggers her way around in a series of leaps and bounces.
So don’t feel sorry for the dog in the picture, with the cold, snowy nose. She’s just taking a break before she’s off on a winter’s chase with her brothers. Summer’s heat is only a few months away, when a black dog will rest in the shade, dreaming of cold snowy drifts.

Aw thanks. Both Lilah and I think you’re right.
We love the snow too. We may look frozen, but we are usually enjoying it.
Exactly. My dogs may look cold and sad, but it’s probably because they don’t want to go inside yet.

It does look cold, doesn’t it? But Lilah doesn’t mind. She loves the snow.
We don’t like snow that much (Pixie not at all), but we can see you enjoy it and have a lot of fun ! Purrs
Our cats like to watch the snow; I can’t imagine them playing in it. Though they are curious when the dogs track snow into the house. Until they realize it’s cold.
We’re not fans of snow…we leave it for the dogs. 🙂
My cats feel the same way. Fun to watch snowflakes from the comfort of a conveniently located cat bed.
You make a great snow dog!
Thanks! Lilah loves the snow!
