The Snow Shepherd and the Yeti

Featuring Daisy as the Snow Shepherd
and starring Diesel, as the Yeti.


The Snow Shepherd is perfectly camouflaged with a
white belly that matches the snow and a top coat the
color of the dry winter grass. Perfect for stalking
the elusive Yeti.

It isn't long before we spot the unmistakable
Yeti foot prints in fresh snow.












































The Yeti is soon spotted lumbering towards
us in the distance.
They make first contact, and the Snow Shepherd
decides that discretion is the better part of valor.





He ambles along, eating huge mouthfuls of snow,
curious about why she ran away.
She keeps her distance, observing
his odd behavior.
























The Snow Shepherd is apparently part pointer,
thinking I couldn't see him.
But really, he's pretty hard to miss.































































They circle each other . . . 
. . . and dance around






They approach again,



and the Yeti leaps!



But it's all in fun.


Mythological snow creatures need friends and playmates too.

Great story! I really enjoy your humor and passion for the dogs that are in your life. Whether they have brief stays or are long term, they're fortunate to be a part of your pack. Rescue and fostering is such a joyous, crazy, heart warming, heart breaking calling. Thank you. A feline foster mom

Oh, too funny. A bedtime story for your pack, or mine.
Thanks for sharing.
