pampered, the Big Guy & snow

["Lyn L. Nelson" <lnelson@mail.portup.com>]

Hi everyone,

Ilene, "pampered".....hmm.....you think Monza's a pampered pooch, eh?  Well,
when he was too quiet last night in the house, I tracked him down.  I
rounded the corner and there he was standing on the dining room table
prouder than a peacock.  Let me tell you - he wasn't pampered last night
after that stunt!  Little creep.

Diane's Golden has a HUGE head - I'm talking mammoth.  From what I recall,
he's rather docile like a huggable giant.

It was sleeting and snowing this morning.  Monza was totally entranced and I
WASN'T!  It's winter already.  I have to rig something up to the back deck
for him to go out & do his duty by himself.  I'm thinking one of those leads
attached to a trolley?  He has to be tied somehow because there's a road on
3 sides of my house & I don't have a fence.

Does anyone else on this list get snow accumulations of 6 feet plus over the
winter?  Counties just west of here got 6 inches this morning and it's
headed this way - it's only a start.  Ilene, I think you mentioned some
people in New York snowblowing a long straight path that their dogs could
run in?  I can see it now......throwing frozen turds through the snowblower.
They better pass right on through & not get stuck.  Gross.  If any of you
have winter time suggestions, _please_ share them.  Thanks.

I'm off to Escanaba for the day.  It's south of here on the shore of Lake
Michigan, instead of Lake Superior.  They're the banana belt, but I took the
Jeep just in case.  Tomorrow, Monza and I will be riding through the woods
on the Keweenaw Peninsula (it's the peninsula that juts up into Lake
Superior) to put out caution signs for a road rally we're having later this
month.  A winter storm warning is in affect for tonight & all of tomorrow.
It should make for an interesting day.
