New Things

It's actually really weird just sitting outside and observing Tyara. I've seen her for about 6 years now and I never really noticed how she is or what she does.

After spending a total of a few hours outside watching her, I noticed many different things that I had not yet caught on. Her tail is always up, since she is really fluffy. When her tail is down I know there is something wrong with her. Every time I go outside she starts smelling me, the first afternoon I did this observation she sniffed my notebook and everything I had with me because it was all new things for her. She spends most of her time on the grass or in her dogloo (name for dog house for snow dog).

Tyara is a mix of an Alaskan Malamute and Akita, that's were she gets her fluffiness. She is small like an Alaskan Malamute but has the face of an Akita.

She doesn't really do much because of her age but she still messes around like a puppy at times. Even though it feels like I've had her for like forever, with these observations I start to wonder new things of her. I wonder if while the smoke was going on if it affected her? Or if she feels like a weight on her because of her fur?
