Ice, Ice, Baby

Howllo Fellow Hound and Ice Storm Haters: Well, it ice raining on top of 6” of snow. Every one was home from work and school today for the most part. Tomorrow is going to be even worse. Poor kids. They hate the cold stuff and so does Mommy.

I was talking (aka complaining) to Grandma on the phone this morning about shoveling snow and the door bell rang! It was a neighborhood kid wanting 5.00 to shovel the front walk. OMG! I love that kid so much I gave him 10.00! I heard him yelling to his brother down the street that he was going to go to Subway today! The money was burning so hot in his pocket that it could have melted the dang snow! LOL It was kind of a bribe to get him to come back tomorrow.

See that baby gate next to Chaps. I had to close it after this picture because of the ice that is coating the back steps. I can’t have the big guy breaking a hip. You can see Emma in the background peeking out the dog door. She barely makes it out to do her business. Sometimes her tail is still inside. Now that is a close call!!!!!!!!!!!

More ice, ice, baby later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

    Where the big guy’s coat/sweater. We can’t have our Mayor catching cold.

    Hooray for kids who want to make a few dollars mowing lawns and shoveling snow.

    Oh so cute, the mayor with snow on him! I can’t imagine if it snowed here. Lulu runs away from me when I am filling the water because she doesn’t want to chance getting splashed!

    Thanks for showing me what I have to look forward to in the morninh Cat. Homer and his brudders have been in and out all day today. Tomorrow i suspect it will be difficult for them to get down the deck steps. Homer likes pita bread, Greek salad and potatos! he really is a goumet eater. He liked it so well he ate his, some of Pally’s and most og Gizzy’s.

    Maureen, you are so right. I asked the kid if he wanted to do some yard work for me in the spring. His eyes lit up! He is the cutest boy. I sure hope we see a lot of him this year and years to come.

    Oh, P.S. the Mayor was only outside for about 3 minutes. I made sure to put a heated towel from the dryer on him.
