So.... last Wednesday, we got hit with a good ol fashion snow storm. Literally feet and inches of snow!! Ed spent the better part of the day plowing and just trying to "stay ahead" of the snow.. but the real work is always the day after. Just to show you what we were dealing with, when I went to let the doggies out for their nightly "run", this is what I found when I opened the door that goes into the dog yard. I did a little shoveling, just so they could get out the door, but they weren't very happy with the idea.
Especially when it meant, climbing "up hill" just to get to the top of the snow. Fortunately, the cockers are light enough that they sort of stayed on the top. But, I can tell you... they were certainly "quick" to go that evening....
Poor Ginger ended up "swimming" thru the snow.. she didn't seem to mind it so much....
And even just the little time that they were out, all the cockers came in looking like this... poor Trev... I didn't let anyone upstairs until they all "melted" off....
Thursday morning, Ed put on his outside gear and headed into the world of white to do battle with the clean up. Abbie was there to encourage Grandpa.. but she isn't too crazy about his "silly" hat...
What the truck couldn't move, the tractor could. One nice thing, there's plenty of room for us to put all this "white".. and rule of thumb, always push it back as far as you can... just to be ready for the next storm.
Tonka enjoyed watching the tractor work.....
Abbie and Tatter enjoyed laying together on the dog bed.. enjoying the warmth of the stove.....
After Ed got the barnyard done, he tackled the dog pen for me. Not only so the dogs could get out.. but also to unbury the fence. Our fence isn't very high, only about three feet, but it was "lost" in the snow....
It was a big job...
but the doggies will certainly enjoy the raceway that Daddy made for them.. and as I said, it's alway just getting ready for the next storm.....
