Begin shameless self promotion of full size, 80+ pound dogs

Now, you see, Mikes dog, as shown here:

Image

Fuzzy, would sink to the bottom of 12+ inches of snow....all you'd see is
a hole in the snow and a warner brothers-like effect as he burrows under
the snow...

End shameless self promotion of full size, 80+ pound dogs

Does mike have to shovel the sidewalk out so Fuzzy can play in the snow,
or does he just throw fuzzy out into the nearest snowdrift?

It doesn't look that deep from here. Is this an unusually large amount for your area?

Yes. Very unusual. Fritz is a german shepherd, and the snow is all the way
up to his chest...

We had a purebred German Shepherd named Chess. She had to be put to sleep a few years ago.

12"? That is quite a lot. My father once saw a snowstorm where it fell two feet in a few hours. They had to dig the snowplows out with shovels.

I've got a fresh 12 inches on the ground now, and 20-24 total forecasted. Mean while several other inches along with large piles are still on the ground from the last snow.

I cant tell if Mikes dog meets my minimal requirements to be "not a mutant norwegian rat" or not.

Hiya Fritz.

how's Christina?

nice, it's completly WET over here in the park, falls are going full blast.

& I am just now getting over two weeks of being totally sick.


of course comparing Fritz to Fuzzy is like comparing my neighbor's pickup to my little chevy. He would love to pay what I do on gas bills, I would love to be able to drive during the winter.

Yes, just lots of darkness and cold chilling life draining in minutes wind and ice.

Well, we're in a suburban street. We live just off a main road, which
is a high traffic state road too.....once you get off the side streets, the main roads should be OK...
