Let it snow ... NO MORE!

Snow has not lasted long this year. It came twice and melted before the weekend came. Well, we weren't so fortunate this time.

Yesterday morning, after lounging at the computer for a few hours, I finally looked outside (and screamed HOLY $#!@) to find the yard covered in a thin blanket of snow. I figured "It will be over faster than it came."

Well last night freezing rain came, and our entire yard is froze over. I kid you not. I haven't even tried to walk on it yet out of fear I would slip, fall and crack my head open.

I did, however, watch Shelby's slipping and sliding in amusement. She ran out the door, jumped down the step onto the ground and was met with quite a surprise. She slid about two feet and looked at me like ... "HUH?!" As she sniffed around for a place to go, the poor thing was constantly slipping (especially her back feet) around.

She finally found a place to go. Then went to run as fast as she could back up to the porch. Of course, it didn't work out to well. She slipped, fell forward and cracked her jaw on the ice. That instantly struck fear in me. She continued to run and slipped a little bit a few more times but she made it up to me safely.

Thankfully, nothing was wrong with her jaw. But it makes me glad I didn't go out on the ice or else there would have been another trip to the ER.

On another note, I called to see how Penny was doing yesterday. For those of you who don't know, Penny is at Shelby's breeder's house being bred to a male I carefully selected.
(I am not a backyard breeder, I test, plan my litters carefully, etc. I'm incredibly careful and very knowledgeable. I waited about 4 years to breed a litter at all.)

They said Penny is doing great, they all love her. They said they found it funny that she does not jump up on the furniture. She also didn't know how to use the ramp in the back of their house.
More info coming soon, especially once Penny comes home.

Yeah that's it for a boring blog post but I have one thing to add as a message to a higher being - ITS ALMOST MARCH. NO MORE SNOW!
