I loved your debriefing and Jeffrey King’s comment about cat skeletons. I laughed and laughed at your story and read lots out loud to my husband, who has been in similar circumstances with me and our dog and snow. I do hope you exaggerated in your depiction of Ann’s exortations. If not, she needs a good telling off!! She’s not too old to learn.

Dear Fred,

You need help and a hot chocolate. I’m reminded of some fact or folklore that says nobody has ever found a cat skeleton in a tall tree or on a telephone pole.

Let the she and the dog do what they do best. You’ve got better things to do. Even if you don’t, anything else seems more productive. Crazy glue in your house slippers might work.

Happy Holidays.

Fred, My dad used to say we don’t make mistakes, we are presented with opportunities to learn. :>)

I’ve now seen quite a few pictures of dogs gamboling in the snow and ask myself how they stay warm? Of course, I know they have fur, but what about the bottoms of their feet, their bellies, their legs, their snouts, their ears? Maybe if they move fast enough and burn enough calories, they stay warm? You can sure tell this query comes from a non-snow person!

Someone is passive-aggressive. LOL

I’m glad you found Tsuga!

Does this ever sound familiar – Spencer’s impeccable nose can pick up the scent of something ripely dead or a heap of fragrant bear poo at quite a distance, and when that happens, he is gone at the speed of light. A few weeks ago, he decided to roll in a pile of smelly bear stuff way up the trail and since he shuns indoor bathing, we had fun, lots and lots of fun.

Merry Fred, Ann and (of course) Tsuga…
