After the Snow…

41

The Snow Dance is one thing and the immediate sense of joy when you actually see the name of your school on TV or if you ‘re lucky enough to receive a phone call.  But then comes the inevitable let down if you actually see a considerable amount of snow…the shoveling.  You have to shovel, to get out, to get the dogs to tinkle and if the temperature has dropped to below zero it’s not only a pain but painful.  It is amazing how when the temperature drops, the puppies cannot take two steps without immediately falling over.  I feel like a member of a search and rescue team.  I stand ready to run, scoop, and throw in the door.  In the case of Alexander that might cause a pull or sprain but you do what you have to do for the babies.  So this morning we have shoveled trails all over the yard to tinkle spots, to the cars, to the mailbox, to the trough for the animals.  Lots of shoveling. Hopefully it all melts soon.
