__Sammi's First Snow__ By: Katy Weis

It was snowing. The first snow of the year. Already almost a foot covered the ground. My siblings and I were getting on our snow gear and our new dog, Sammi, was going crazy. She had learned the signs of when we go outside. Finally finished with our snow gear, we opened the door and in a flash of golden fur and tail, Sammi was gone. She had leaped into the snowbank and found out you couldn't just walk through the snow. So Sammi took a huge bound and went about six inches. Repetitivly she jumped and finally got out of the bank into lower snow. Our golden dog hadn't noticed the snow falling from the sky when in the snowbank, but she did at that moment. She snapped at the frozen water, trying to consume each one. After awhile she tired of the game and sprinted around with a stick in her mouth, daring us to try and get it. When we got inside, we were all cold and tired, but hysterical at what Sammi did. Looking back, I miss Sammi's silly puppy days. But now she is a loyal, smart (but still goofy) grown up lab. Go Sammi!
