Blog #3 Seeing a really happy dog out for a walk #403

I pull on my hood and walk through the crisp air.  It is just about to snow and I miss the warm sun already.  I look down at my cold feet and tuck my chin in my coat trying to stay warm.  I look back up and a smile comes to my face and I see a little puppy dog jumping in circles and rolling on the cold hard ground of grass.  The dog sees me and runs toward me as I lean down.  The owner follows her dog and stops a few feet away from me, as I pet the dog.  The dog leaps in circles in front of me and runs to its owner and back to me.  I can see the smile on the dogs face and I can tell it is so happy to be outside.  The little dog sits in front of me waiting for something, so I ask the owner if he has a ball, he hands it to me and I throw it far.  The little dog runs like the wind and her little back legs follow.  She sprints back to me and drops the ball waiting for me to throw it again.  She pants heavily but doesn’t care, she loves to fetch and loves the cold air to keep her cool.  After about five minutes of us playing I let her, and her owner continue their walk.  I walk away with a big smile on my face and look back and see the puppy glancing back at me as she walks in the other direction.  Her little ears flap side to side as she strides along the pathway with what looks like a smile.  I completely forget how cold I am and happily walk home thinking of the fun time the dog had and how happy she was to be outside.
