I hear ya Rickers! My dog's legs or muscles or something seize up when he's out too long and he has to come hobbling and limping up the stairs to get back in the house. Nothing a couple minutes by the stove doesn't cure...

Our dog is half Black Lab and half White Great Pyrenees and she has webbed toes. When she comes in from being out in the snow we have to remove ice balls from between her toes for her. She has a rough time doing it herself. Sometimes I think that our pets own us and not the other way around !

SOMETIMES? They always do!

Well, we've got a foot of "global warming" so far but at least we're in that heat wave, it's +14 or so but supposed to dive to -3 tomorrow Thankfully it's powdery so far and easy to blow off.

I felt so bad for our little dogs during the zero below days. I have a springer that fares quite well, in fact, she loves the snow and cold. I have a yorkie and chihuahua (my sons) the chihuahua is tiny and made it outside for about 30 seconds. He sure learned to do his business fast. I cut the fingers off of an old knit glove and slipped those over the little dogs feet. Seemed to do the trick. It's gonna be funny when we do get significant snow. Little dogs are so funny trying to get somewhere in the snow.

Not MY dogs ... we know who the boss is here! Except first thing in the morning, when they get breakfast before I do...

And... HEY! did I say you could dump your surplus "global warming" in my front yard??!

Snowed all day Thursday... most of the day it melted almost as fast as it came down, or we'da had 3 feet instead of 5 inches. As it is, we have 3" of frozen slush topped by 2" of drifting powder. Parts of the high desert got as much as two feet, tho. The view out my front door was indistinguishable from my view when I lived east of Belgrade.

I had a neighbor once who had two "polar bears" as my little children use to call the Pyrenees. Beautiful faces with coal black eyes.

Last year I got the Daschunds ready for this time by using a "revved up get command" so here I am at the back door in my snow boots and robe saying "Git it! Git it!" They power poop and pee and all my neighbors get interesting entertainment.

Just saw a blurb from the Humane society in Missoula looking to place somewhere around 100 husky pups and dogs. Hmmm, gotta talk with the wife! At least they won't have to "power poop" right?
