More: This is a rare picture of Yugen actually up on the river bank and not in the water. For a breed that typically doesn't like the water too much, I can't keep her out. She will lead me to any small stream at the first sound of running water. That said, I think the snow is her favorite thing. I hear her whine out of excitement when we head up the MTN pass and start seeing the white stuff. She's a young one so still trying to find her ways but is the absolutely most intelligent dog most people have ever met. Being a Mal mix, she is pretty consistent with the Looney tunes levels of shenanigans, on a daily basis. I constantly find myself laughing at her. Every night she gets very cranky of she doesn't get to snuggle with us on the couch. She loves and protects her people.
