Well, folks, the storm has begun. Consider this your obligatory “Nemo is here!” post. We do not have a little orange fish swimming around, but we do have a whole bunch of snow and an orange dog.
As it turns out, this particular orange dog loves the snow. Apparently, she loves it enough that she will simply sit in it and refuse to come inside, despite the open door, warm house, and many treat offerings. Despite this weird, weird face:
The other dog, in the meantime, has been completely passed out since 9am. While it’s a nice break for all of us, I’m starting to get a little worried… she is snuggling and has not destroyed a single thing today. Hopefully she’s just sleeping through the storm and will be back to her normally, slightly-less-lovable self* soon.
We are handling the storm by making our snow blower accessible, collecting candles, and being really lazy. I am eating a lot. It is really some good quality time to just be all together, and I am enjoying it. Can’t wait to see the dogs in the deep snow tomorrow.
How are you handling the storm?
*In case you can’t tell from all the photos I post and bragging I do about this little dog, I really do love her quite a bit. Most of my complaining about her is in jest (except for the part where I complain about how she jumps 6+ foot fences. That part is for serious). Turtle, on the other hand, tolerates her with some mild affections mixed in.
We are doing good so far. My little one refuses to be outside for more than the time it takes to use the bathroom. My big girl was outside for about 30 min at 5pm playing in it then wanted to go back inside. Which is odd cause she loves the snow. The wind probably made her to cold.
Kingsley, our Collie, loves the snow. He had a blast playing in the 2 inches we got last month. Eleanor had just seen snow for the first time… and she was a little wary. She tiptoed around the yard until she saw Kingsley catching snowballs and decided it must not be that bad.
Hope everyone is still safe and warm!
