Doggie E's Snow Day

There's been much chaos in the house lately. Big plants with lights and toys dangling from the branches that I'm not allowed to play with, boxes with colorful paper I like to shred, ribbons everywhere, people eating constantly -- it's been great! And then it snowed, which I'd totally forgotten about even though this is my fifth winter.  Snow is good and bad.  I like to go out and play in it, but I hate how cold it is and how the snow gets between my toes.  I'm not a snow dog, but I can play one for a little while.

Look at all this snow!  That's too much, even for me.


There is increased excitement whenever I have to go potty because it's such an ordeal to get everyone else all bundled up, so when I know it's time, it's hard to contain my energy.  That Guy likes to hold my tail, and it drives me nuts because I can't go anywhere without it.
 

Open the door. Open the door. Open the door. Open the door. Open...


Open the other door. Open the other door. Open the other door. Open the other door. Open...
 

OH NO! It's taller than me!
 

What am I going to do? I have to do poopies!


You know, That Guy didn't have to throw me into the snow. I would've found a way in. Sheesh. And My Human with the camera constantly taking my picture. A dog can't even poop in the snow around here with some dignity!


Birdies! Everywhere! I wanna eat them!


I think I can catch them if you just let go of the leash. Really, I can. Just let go for a minute.


Sure, mention letting go of the leash and suddenly it's time to go inside. Well, that's okay, because now I'm covered in snow and I have to rub it all over the couch.
 

The Humans put blankets and covers on the couch to protect it from me, but I have ways of grinding my scents into everything.
 

Even if I have to somersault to do it.
 

Snow: it's a good thing.
