Cassie B. of Hamilton, Montana, who adopted our little blind dog Nevada a couple of months ago, emailed us the above photo of her yesterday, enjoying the same snow we got. Cassie and her husband Brent renamed Nevada as Bindi, which I sometimes roll together now as "Nevindi." Here's how Cassie described the scene yesterday morning:
"Of course, this was Bindi’s first experience with snow (that we know of, right?), and it was hysterical to watch. She tried to eat all of it when she first stepped out into it, until she realized there was just too much there to consume in one sitting, so she decided to go exploring. She hit the back yard and just started tearing through all the snow in huge, joyful circles. Then she put her head down and started plowing & tunneling. I thought that kind of enthusiasm for snow was just a lab thing, but apparently little blind mutts enjoy it equally as much. I am attaching a photo of Bindi in all of her winter glory."
Photo credit goes to Brent for that shot!
Awesome picture,truly. I have a picture of Nevindi on my desk at work from our visit last June when she was just a little puppy!

Love...love...this photo of Nevindi! (great blend of the name, Steve)
I must have missed your blog posting on her adoption. I'm going to check your archives right after this so I can read up on the happy event.
I'm so happy she's thriving!
Happy Thanksgiving!

What a cute pic of Nevada/Bindi enjoying the snow! It's great that she's loving something that she's probably going to have a lot of this winter.
Big warm hugs from Tx,
