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.
