Snow: The Fluffy Stuff

Safe travel to Christie, and may she come safely home again!!

Taking the dogs out is driving me NUTS. I actually shoveled a path and patch in the yard for Lady but she is so picky. She doesn't want to use the same spot more than once, and I haven't got the physical capability to shovel anything more. We finally have a pretty even path trampled from the front to the back, and I managed to kick the snow out of a pretty big patch in the back yard too, but of course--she's already used it.

So we go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth in the bone-chilling cold, me all the time worrying about her back leg--and half the time we come back in without her having gone. Aaaaarrrrrgggghhh.

Then yanno, when she finally does deign to go, weird things happen... like Trooper gooses her with a snowy nose while she's peeing. *buries face in hands*

Now that we have the path trampled out, it would actually be okay if it stayed cold and cloudy... but no. The sun's supposed to come out tomorrow, which will melt areas of the snow, and give us big patches of ice.

Ohhh sheesh, there goes my neighbor again. Yanno where he got his truck stuck? In MY driveway. He managed to get pulled straight out of the driveway by about two feet last time. I'm glad he's gone now, but he left behind some nasty tracks that Gryph will have to walk through on his way home from work tonight.

Maybe getting so badly stuck will teach the kid to stop using our driveway. He does have his own, after all.

So Cath is learning a huge lesson about Winter, and what serious inconvenience does to her temper. Say hello to Crabby Girl. *sheepish look*
