First Snow Nov 2018

Here is the gallery.

Dogs are loving it but I stayed up till midnight taking snowballs off the dogs. Buy a snowsuit to avoid this on wet snow. Powder doesn't stick like this. The 4 legged kind is the best!

Dennis also did a few videos. Check them out here.

The dogs are tired of me brushing these snowballs out and putting them under the dryer. It is a fruitless undertaking.

Nathan arrives home and then we head to the laundrymat. Hopefully it is empty and 7 loads later it will all be done and that's not all of it as we have gazebo curtains and chairpads that can wait. 7 is enough. 

If he says hello to the dogs before me I will swat him. LOL He will be physically and emotionally tired.

All the snow fell off the gazebos by themselves - hooray. Last gazebo Dennis would have to take a pole with a brush to take the snow off or it would collapse. Nice to have a true metal roof. Dogs like that it leaves them a snowless section underneath too. We are thankful for no wind. 

so what happened to this huge snowstorm? For shame is the weather people wrong again?

Dogs are enjoying heated blankets and staying warm. Yeah we are silly like that. We heat them up so they are comfie.

Washer may be fixed Monday or not. Motor for pump may come in on time or not. When you have no more socks, or sheets or hahahaha. It will be almost 2 weeks without a washer before it gets fixed. 

I will be so glad when we have normalcy - whatever that is. It's not here yet in so many ways but still those dogs are snuggled, loved and bring us much comfort - all from visitors to our own.

I loved the video too. You just want to cuddle with all of them. You have to wonder what they are thinking. Darlah I am sure you will be happy and relieved when Nathan is home. The laundromat isn't so bad. Gets all the loads done at one time. However you are stuck there for a couple of hours. Oh well some quiet time for the two of you. Would be better over a glass of wine but...
