It's no secret, I love snow! Love it. Don't even mind shoveling it. Haiku likes snow ok. She likes an inch or two of powder to play in.
Why are we HERE???!!!!
However, Haiku does NOT like 22 inches of snow. It's overwhelming. Luckily we have a condo association that pays people to shovel. So yesterday on our morning walk, we had about an inch or so of packed snow with maybe an inch of loose powder on top. Pretty fun! It was so peaceful and such a pretty morning that I thought, "if we just keep walking, we can get to the store!" Mind you, I was wearing my jammies under my jeans, hadn't brushed my teeth or anything of that nature.
So we walked. Let me tell you, the only people that had shoveled their sidewalks along Main Street were the lawyers, a flower shop and like, two private homes.
I spent most of the walk carrying a completely miserable Haiku
It SUUUUCKED!!!!!
Poor Haiku. She still hasn't forgiven me. She got a blow dry and brush out and lots of TREATS!, then I let her run around the store while I shoveled and salted. I called Andie over at Andie's Doggie Do's to brag about the snow (she hates it!) and much to my surprise she was there!

Even better, she and her husband swung by and gave us a ride home! Even though I only live about a mile from the store, it's a looooong mile walking through almost knee deep snow and carrying an 11 pound dog. Especially when you haven't even brushed your teeth.
Talk to the paw, I hate you.
Haiku spent the rest of the day sleeping on sofa next to the husband. He was very sympathetic. She refused to have anything to do with me. I wonder if she'll ever forgive me.
