great message title...

My favorite email title of the day, amidst all of the Valentine's Day propaganda, was this one, from Eastern Mountain Sports...

"Forget chocolates... buy her snowshoes!"

I could use snowshoes with the amount of snow drifting in my front yard. Better yet, I need snowshoes for the dogs... poor Chase is just heavy enough to break through the crust and not tall enough to just plow through the snow, so when he went out this morning, his progression around the yard was "take a step... fall through crust... scramble out of hole... take a step... fall through crust..." Poor guy... it's harder on him, with the cataracts, 'cause he's not sure where the ground is anyway... it's all one big featureless white blob.

:( Poor Chase! Blade would fall through it as well and then he panics while Cookie trots around him. Surely, they have booties for dogs, there would be some sort of snowshoe for them as well!

Stay safe in the snow! And stay warm!

I've enlisted a neighbor to clear the sidewalk and driveway while I'm at work today, so my project when I get home will be to clear an area that Chase can go into without having to fall through.

So I'll have Chase sticking to the cleared spots and Drummer probably trying to tunnel through the piled-up stuff, 'cause he's funny that way. :-)

Did this all stay north of you? (I've been so busy looking at the central Indiana maps that I haven't paid attention to what the weather did outside the immediate area.)

We just got ice. Nothing too bad at all really. We got snow last week (it just melted yesterday because we were below freezing for 14 days). I wish we had more though. I think I need to move to Oswego, NY. Then Blade, Cookie and I could tunnel through the snow to our hearts desire!

*belly rubs* for the pups!

The first winter I had Bounce he was light enough to run on the crust of the snow. The second winter he wasn't. So he'd go two steps and then break through...and the look on his face was *hilarious*. "What's this cold wet stuff ion my feet?" *grin*
