Good deed or just nuts?

My human has gone nuts.  It's snowing like heck, the power keeps going off, it's as cold as heck and all of a sudden she grabs her coat, gloves and boots and is out the door quicker than you can say Pedigree Chum.  Then two minutes later she's back, grabs some cardboard from the garage then out the door again.  Slightly curious I get up from my warm bed and wander to the window to watch the spectacle.  She kicks the cardboard under the car wheels, then gets her sizable frame behind the car and two minutes later the driver is shaking her hand and trying to give her money.  Apparently the guy had been shoveling snow and trying to move his car for over an hour.  I'm very proud of my human - her brains and bulk have some use after all :-)
  

Snowdog

Just wondering why my human only cleared to here.  Does she expect me to wade through that lot?

Ice, ice baby

Well that was a new experience.  Either my paws have been polished overnight or something happened to the pavement.  Apart from it being really, really cold on the old paws, it's ridiculously slippy.  Everywhere is covered in ice.  My human had to clear a path just to get out of the house and even then it was the shortest walk in history.  It's impossible to walk on the road or the pavement  so we hopped from grunchy grass verge to crunchy grass verge.  Even my 4 paw drive couldn't get any traction.  It's not funny or dignified losing control of your legs. 

It doesn't look much but it is all ice.

Happy New Year

Alright so we are well in to January but it's taken me this long to recover from my Christmas holiday.  I had such good fun but it was very tiring.  Endless walks, plenty of room to run around and best of all, off the lead. 

My mate Jake got a lovely Christmas present... a puppy called Piper.  She is ever so cute but hard work.  So much energy from such a little bundle.  I thought Jack was hyperactive... Piper was non-stop.  It's a good job I'm such a laid back guy, others wouldn't be as tolerant.  She is beautiful though.  Almost makes me want to ask my human to get one to keep me company... but then again I like my peace and quiet.  I think I'm too old to be training puppies.
