We Have Snow

Here is a small gallery. We are doing paths in the back yard so may get more in soon. But then again - maybe not. Tomorrow is a new day too! Okay, I added new photos.

All I could see is top of heads depending where I was clicking.

We had already shovelled the deck - actually Nathan did and if you look at the table, you will see how deep the snow is. Nathan complained profusely saying too hard. I didn't ask him to but he does in moderation need to exercise. Our streets are not plowed. Dennis, on his day off decided to shovel for his exercise. He exercises every day too. 

Some of the dogs love the deepness, others not. Stryker and Chai and Sage jumped through it like it was a game. Even Ella did! Reggie looked at it as if to say - are you kidding? Jersey, as she was going home was not allowed to go out so she stayed freshly groomed. 

It is a fun snow day and although I have gone out with the dogs, I prefer the warmness of indoors. 

Our replaced hard drive died again so I am tracking the return. $35 dollars to return each time and this is try 3. 

I started an organizer for the tools for my printer and realized it would take 15 hours. I guess that is a job I have to do when I wake up till I go to bed. So, not today. So instead I made S hooks for my grooming sink and those stupid things you put into the holes in your cabinet to support the shelves. They both work. I also made some cable organizers. The things you can make...

I just looked at the dogs all wet. Do I take them out then dry or dry and take them out....

You may have noticed by now that Juni absolutely loves the snow. She usually gets the zoomies through the snow in our backyard or hops like a bunny through snow piles. She will lay in the snow if given the chance. 🤪

She DIVES into the snow and delights in it. I am combing her out twice today due to this. She is an incredible dog who just loves to have fun.
