Fate is as close to a wild animal as any dog I have had. She always wants to be outside, is impervious to cold, snow or ice. In the mornings now, the pastures are somewhat muddy and when Fate comes out after working and running, she rolls up and down and back and forth in the snow. You never have to give Fate a bath.
She has fun wherever she goes, whatever she does. She would be happy living out in the wild, she digs holes to be warm and cold, eats berries and bark, is aware of everything that moves.
She is so lucky to live where she has some outdoor freedom!
What a lovely dog. I certainly wish that Dira would at least wash her feet before she comes in! At this time of year, my house has dirt floors.
