Meet Winter

As an eighty-pound brindle Boxer-German Shepard mix she gets noticed. She will be seven years old on February 4. Winter likes sticks and balls and belly scratches. Not a short, light, one-handed scratch but a giant, full strength, two handed scratch.

In fact I give her a giant, 15-30 second, belly scratch every morning, because if I were a dog that's how I would like to start my day. I have done this just about every morning for the last seven years. Her tongue lolls out the side of her mouth and she smiles in bliss. Then, when I'm finished, she gets up and does a giant shake, ears flapping and skin rattling, to loosen up for the day ahead.

That's Winter (a.k.a. The Dog). Thanks for reading. Welcome to her world.
