Yes I realize it's useless to complain at this point! So another 18 inches of snow ...yea! I must admit that it looked pretty after the sun came out and everything was covered with a fresh white blanket of new snow. Then the shoveling began! Not pretty! Though with all this shoveling I am building up my triceps quite nicely! Ozzie just doesn't know where to go to do his business with all of the mounds of snow in our tiny back yard. I have been negligent in my poop pick up duties ( ha doodies! ) and now I will have to wait for the Spring thaw to pick up what is lurking under the layers of winter's fury!Since the weekend calls for some flurries and continued cold weather it might be refreshing to go to a nice dinner with friends and enjoy a bottle of wine. I have found a website titled "A Dog's Life" that not only carries dog goodies but human goodies as well. Everything can be customized with your dog's (or cat's) picture on the labels. I was interested in the wine where you can order a Cabernet or a Chardonnay labeled with your pup's photo. I was thinking Ozzie's mug would make a good label for a nice hardy Zinfandel. Wouldn't it be the height of sheik to whip out a bottle of wine with your Fido on the front?!Here is hoping that you all have a warm and wonderful weekend!Cheers!
As I write this post big fluffy flakes are falling from the sky. I would usually admire the beauty of the moment but since this winter we have had more than our fair share of it I will pass! Yesterday temperatures were in the single digits to start off with and then hovered in the teens for the rest of the day. If the cold wasn't bad enough we woke up to discover that the pipes in our basement bathroom froze over! That was a first! We have lived in this house for six years and have never experienced that! I guess it just has never been this cold before. Brrrr, global warming my foot! Ozzie doesn't complain about the cold, though it makes him do his business in the back yard a bit faster than usual! Yesterday he actually sprinted back in after he completed his morning constitutional! I guess unless you live in Florida it's hard to think warm thoughts! Hang in there all!
The holidays have zipped past us and now the winter doldrums loom before us! It's hard to find anything to get excited about. What holidays are out there in the months ahead? Hm...there is MLK day and Presidents day and not to leave out Valentines day but none of them have the food, the parties, the presents that were Thanksgiving through New Years! Plus the weather is chilly and wearing a sweater and fuzzy slippers in the house is a permanent part of my wardrobe. I must say Ozzie is making the best of it but is decidedly bored. Good thing he doesn't have thumbs or he be in the refrigerator all the time noshing! There is snow in the forecast for this weekend and with it comes a chance to eat a new batch of fresh snow. Our backyard snow has become pretty raunchy looking over the past 2 weeks.
I think I just heard the deafening sound of Ozzie sighing on the couch. Hang in there buddy, Spring can't be that far off ......can it?
