Of course, I took her off the leash on the deck and she shot out into the woods next door.

Gus is sick

Gus0311Gus has thrown up three times today.  Not sure what his deal is.  he seems fine otherwise.

 I hope Lindsay Lohan doesn’t sue him.

Gus’ first real snow

At least as far as we know, this is Gus’ first snowfall.  I’m here to tell you he’s not too crazy about it.

 I had to carry him to the street which was moderately clear.  He did his business then as I started back up my driveway he just stood in the street.  I had to pick him up and carry him about half-way up the drive.  I set him down and rather than walk on the somewhat shoveled path on the driveway he darted onto a diagonal, but direct, course for the front door.  I guess he thought the fewer steps the better.

We got 3–5 inches of snow overnight.  That’s not too bad, but the wind is blowing 30–40 mph and the temperature is dropping from near 30 yesterday to around zero tonight.  Single digit highs on Friday and below zero expected Friday night.  They’re saying it hasn’t gotten below zero here in ten years. I didn’t think it had been that long.
