Grandma Odessa Lifted Copper to the Window. He'd Never Seen Snow Like This.

AI imagegolden retrieversnowwindow

Seen through a frosty windowpane, Grandma Odessa stands in a green cardigan with her reading glasses pushed up into her silver hair, holding Copper up to the glass. The big red-gold Golden Retriever hugs the window sill with his front paws in her arms, mouth open in a panting smile and brown eyes fixed on the white yard. Snow covers the trees and rooftops outside, and a small green plant sits on the sill. Behind them, the cluttered living room has a plaid blanket, a pair of slippers and a table piled with things, with soft winter light all around.

Many dogs get excited about their first snowfall, and it can be a joy to share. Golden Retrievers have a thick double coat and often love cold weather, but they still need care. Limit time outside in freezing temperatures, wipe off paws after walks to remove ice and salt, and check between the toes for snowballs. Keep antifreeze and de-icing products far from your dog, since they can be harmful if licked. A large dog should not be lifted without care, so use a sturdy position and let them down gently, or simply have them put their paws on the sill. Fresh water and a dry towel make the return indoors cozy.

Soon enough there will be boots, a scarf and a very excited dash outside. For now, the best view in the house is right here.
