30 Day Writing Challenge - Day Eleven

Prompt:  "Day 11 —What was your first childhood pet?  Describe it in detail."

Snowy white fur and the mentality of a puppy eternal.  Snowball (original, I know) had the blackest eyes and nose, a fox-shaped face with a short muzzle.  She was a mini American Eskimo with the signature ring tail and glossy bushy fur as soft as down.  Snowball was at most around fifteen pounds, if that.  A perfect little lap dog. 
     Behavior wise she was a timid thing - wetting herself every time she was excited, happy or scared.  That ended after a while - when she finally matured.  Just a little FYI, American Eskimos take a long time to mature.  So a puppy for life!  Or for a long time. Otherwise she was the cutest, loudest, and playful thing.  I miss her.  She passed away in 2012, and we got her in 1998.
