This is one of my favourite photos of Stella. She is in some ways a typical ACD – wary, never truly and completely relaxing, a bit schitzy. She also curious and you could say has an intense nose and hearing. When I come home after visiting different places she buries her nose in my pant leg (or my leg leg, grin) investigating.
During our second winter in Canada we walked after a big snow and brisk winds which piled the snow into drifts. Stella must have heard a mouse or other critter under the drift and plunged into the drift after it. She did that quite a few times on this walk, and on many snowy walks since.
