The Dog’s World

Maya is definitely a snow dog. Well, she was born in Colorado Springs, so I guess its in her blood. She can’t help herself when snow is on the ground, she loves to run around in it and dig her face into it as far as it can go. My girlfriend and I decided to take a trip up to Colorado where her family owns a cabin and of course Maya was ecstatic. We drove 18 hours to get there and Maya couldn’t stay still for 5 minutes. Whenever we take long trips, Maya loves to be on my lap in the front seat. That was fun and cute when she was about 20 pounds, but now that she has developed into a full blown beautiful Pit Bull at 60 pounds, the laying on my lap thing was definitely not very comfortable.

When we got to Vega Lake Maya immediately jumped out and began to explore her new surroundings. She was quickly acquainted to the 3 feet of snow by diving right into it. She is such a funny dog. She couldn’t understand why her little brother Toby could walk on the top of all the snow while she would just sink right to the bottom. It was a funny sight.

We found out a couple things about Maya while we were there:

1. Maya is not a fan of snowmobiles. She was always trying to bite the skis every time she could get close to them.

2. Poor Maya has very sensitive feet. The hard snow gave Maya little cuts all over her paw pads and I’m sure that wasn’t very comfortable.

And 3. Maya will chew the top off of an oil bottle if you leave her to her own devices. What a freak. We came back from skiing one day and Maya had made her way onto the couch and grabbed a semi empty bottle of oil we used for the snowmobile and chewed the top right off. Oil everywhere.

Yeah Maya and Toby had a blast at the cabin. We have a dog parade coming up in about two weeks that Maya is going to love. Can’t wait.
