Dusty eating snow 1

Whenever there's fresh snow on the ground, blind Dusty loves to stop on his way out the door first thing each morning to lap up several mouthfuls of the crisp, cold white stuff.  There's always a full water bucket on the porch of Widget's House, and he will go back and drink from that later, but he prefers to start his day by licking at the new snow.  I got these photos of him yesterday morning, just a minute after I let him and the rest of the gang out of Widget's House.

Yum, that snow is tasty!

    Dusty’s story is one of the ones that really touched me when I read it. Thanks for an update on him. Looks like the sun is just coming up in the photos. Thanks for getting out of your warm bed to go out in the cold to let all our friends out of their crates. And thanks for all the blog posts on each of their personalities and quirks.
    Happy Thanksgiving to all.

    “A snootful” used to mean alcohol, I guess to you northern folks (or at least Dusty) it means snow!
    Happy Thanksgiving. We’re all thankful that you do what you do and for your loving hearts. Have a delicious day.
