up and lit up the sparkling snowflakes that lay on the ground. School had been delayed due to the few inches of powdery snow that had fallen the night before. My brother Dave, my neighbor Ross, and I, were playing in this beautiful snow with my year old German Sheppard, Jenny. Jenny loved to play in the snow, and she also loved to take advantage of any chance to run away. She delighted in being chased.

Ross had Jenny by her leash, but he did not possess the strength to hold her. Jenny saw something of interest and decided to bolt toward it, and Ross being the weakling that he is lost his grip. As Jenny bolted off around the yard in utter stupidity, it took her awhile to realize our mishap and take full advantage of it. She began to sprint back and forth through our snow filled lot dodging her three baffled pursuers. Dave then snuck up on Jenny trying to grab her leash, but as he took hold of the leash, Jenny snapped forward breaking the mechanism that kept the leash closed, and thus beginning the real chase.

Jenny now in the realization that she is free to roam takes off around our neighbors house, and in the process stirrin

We all took turns taking Jenny by the collar all the way home (for about one mile). When we got home we all scolded her, but she is too cute to be mad at very long. So after we had towel dried her off and told her how much we loved her, we realized the bus would be here any minute. We quickly took off our snow clothes to reveal that we were soaked in sweat from the chase. As I was changing into a dry shirt I heard Dave call out, “Oh no the bus is here!” We didn’t have the time to fully change for the bus was waiting at the stop. We sprinted out to the bus yelling, “Wait! Wait!” as loud as we could, and as it was preparing to pull away we made it just in time. On the bus ride to school I felt utterly exhausted. I looked over at my brother and asked, “What the hell was that this morning?” he looked back and responded with, “I don’t know but I don’t want to go through this again in the morning”. The exhaustion from the chase made the school day seem longer than usual even though it was a two hour delay. When I got home I slept the rest of the night it seemed like.

This is where the chase became interesting. Jenny passed the pond that ran through the center of the neighborhood and saw an astounding number of Canadian Geese on the other side. This pond had frozen over and looked like solid ground to a pup whom had had no experience with such things. The inches of snow that had fallen had also masked the appearance of the thin ice. Jenny proceeded to trot across the frozen top, but with the most dismay. For after one step into the pond she fell in through the ice. She swam around in a circle as we stood on the bank and watched. Jenny got out of the pond and shook off as much water
