HIONIS

Όταν τον βρήκαμε ήταν περίπου 2 μηνών και λευκός σαν το χιόνι, γι’αυτό και τον βγάλαμε Χιόνη. Στην πορεία εμφανίστηκαν μερικές μπεζ τούφες στην πλάτη του που με τον καιρό γίνονται ολοένα και πιο καφέ. Μόνο όταν πλατσουρίζει και μετά κυλιέται στα χώματα το χρώμα του γίνεται ένα ομοιόμορφο καφέ, το χρώμα της λάσπης. Και τότε είναι κάτι παραπάνω από ευτυχισμένος. Πετάει στα σύννεφα. Μεγαλώνει όμως και When we found him, he was about 2 months old and white as snow, which is why we named him Chionis (Snowy). Over time, a few beige patches appeared on his back, turning increasingly brown with age. Only when he splashes around and then rolls in the dirt does his coat take on a uniform brown tone—the color of mud. And in those moments, he is more than happy; he is on cloud nine. He is growing up, however, and still living at the shelter. Yet, we hold out hope that the right person will lay eyes on him, fall in love, and choose to offer him a forever home. And it doesn't matter that he isn't small, because he can fit into an apartment just fine—provided he gets the necessary walks to burn off energy, alongside the love and patience required to settle in.
