Snow Snow Go Away Come Back Another Decade!
Its been 10 days since the snow storms began and we are still dealing with slippery ice and melting snow. I think we will have snow hanging around till March. There is 6 inches in the forecast for Monday night into Tuesday. We are suppose to head back to school on Tuesday. Not sure what to think of that. The snow has been good for D.U. in the sense that his feet have really healed up. But he falls down alot from the ice. I am so frustrated with the whole mess. His boots should be in tomorrow however I don't think they are going to do much good on the ice. He's sleeping on the sofa all the time now. He actually got up there all on his own yesterday. He hasn't slept on his mattress in days. Maybe we will be able to put it away soon. Getting a little nervous about leaving him alone again. When we all go back to school and work leaving him alone for extended period of time will be worrisome. If he could hold his bowel movements till we got home that would be an answer to prayer. I would like to know if I got him wheels could even my 10 year old put him in his cart? On top of all of this uncertainty I am facing the fact that my beagle is not long for this world. There is something really wrong with her and I am sure its "time". I am never getting another animal again. I mean it this time.

Last year we were going to visit our daughter on the other side of the state for her birthday. That's March 30th. Couldn't go because we were snowed in. Hope by that time this year it will be spring time on your farm. It's already like spring time here when it's not raining. More rain falling now.
ReplyDeleteOn Barb's 55th birthday (she turned 63 in Jan.) I was taking her to the hospital for a scheduled surgery. I'd left our pup outside. He had access to a heated dog room in the garage with our old dog Penny and he'd been out lots of times before. But that morning, for some reason he tried to catch up to us as we drove down the hill from the house and out our half mile driveway. It was dark and raining. He came up along the passenger side unknown to us and then tried to get out in the headlights. I ran over him and he died instantly. Terrible thing to do. After a bit, I said, "That's it. No more dogs." and I meant it. A few weeks later I was moping around missing Ralfy and Barb said, "I think you should look for another pup." She was right of course. I started watching four shelters and that's when I met and adopted Archie. I can't imagine missing out on all the adventures him and I have had together.
