I never experienced the thrill of dog sledding while surrounded by the crisp chill snow air.

Instead, I did something much rarer and magical.

I experienced sledding in Texas led by one dog named Coldplay, a Siberian Husky mix.

This energetic pup was bursting with energy.

Our 1st interaction was him jumping on me and playing a game of “chomp the arm”.

I later learned from reading his bio, that his love for arm grabbing is a known behavior among the staff members.

A trait I wasn’t very fond of . . .

After our introduction, the fun really begun.

I was whisked away to our destination by a quick moving pup who honestly believed he was sledding to deliver an emergency cargo.

He me pulled with such strength that I had to triple wrap the leash around my wrist and arms.

I even have the evidence on my arms to prove that I went sledding in Texas on a hot August morning.

While all of this was happening, I kept imagining what a wild ride the journey would’ve been if I was on a skateboard leash in hand.

15 or 20 mins later his energy started to diminish and leveled to a nice pace without me gripping for dear life.

Coldplay is a breathtaking dog and a prime example of how a breed’s traits shape a dog’s instincts, allowing them to naturally tap into behaviors developed over generations.

Even if it means sledding across the hot Texas pavement.

You can find many adoptable pets looking for a loving home at the Grand Prairie Animal Shelter.

Don’t live near this city, consider visiting your local animal shelter to receive and provide love to an animal in need.
