By any standards she is recognized as a Northern Breed or rather simply put a snow dog. Oddly, she doesn’t want her paws touching any snow. I’m used to it by now as she is 5 years old. The first time was shocking and the next and next but not now. However, when I got home from church today I insisted she have her picture made in the Dallas’ snow. It was a tug of wills. Malamutes are known to be determined. I did win sorta. With all the insistence I could muster I got her out onto the snow but she quickly ran back up the stairs to go inside. Go figure! Yes, I did snap three photos of her quickly.

We did share a great moment two nights ago. She came into the bedroom and got up beside me on the bed. We talked and played for awhile. I wanted to hear her howl as it had been awhile so I howled and she started howling. It was absolutely beautiful! and quite a sight to see with her head held back as she took forth in song.

Maple quite often frees my mind’s tangles and lifts me from my narrow preoccupations. Today and everyday I give thanks for my wonderful dog.
