I always shovel a path or go out and stomp a trail around the yard. Sometimes the snow has been so deep on the sides of the trails that they jump up like bunnies to see where they are going!!

That is too funny! I bet you get laugh when they do that!

We are stocked up on essentials, I went the other day and got kleenex, popsicles, bread and gatorade (the kids have been home sick with the flu all week). I am getting tired of being stuck in the house though. I am so ready for spring (and vacation in 2 weeks)

There are a lot of places affected by this snowstorm. My grandpa in Cleveland Ohio said they have 12" of snow on the ground, and are expecting more today....

This is a nuisance, but like you said, I hope no one gets hurt.

We shovel the yard and they have learned to go quickly. Our snow FINALLY melted here and I got to pick up the yard and we even went for a walk one day. Our forecast says snow but not as much as you will get. We got that much last time. Good luck! At least it's been getting warmer in between snows so it won't last as long this time.

Yup I'm in Cleveland too and we got 12 inches yesterday and they are predicting about 12-15 more today. We have already snowblowed 2x this morning to clear a path for Izzy..she is finally going out very quickly to pee and poo and in she comes all snow covered.

We have blizzard conditions right now and no one is going anywhere. Can't even get off our street to get to the main road if that's any better.

Just keep shoveling a path for your baby and they'll go.

Oh and we were supposed to see Wicked tomorrow and don't know if that's happening with all the snow.

Time for movies and wine tonight that's for sure.

My thoughts are with everyone in the blizzard areas. We just got a couple of inches but south of us got hit. It is very cold here though and I am tired of winter and ready for Spring. Its supposed to be up to 59 later on in the week

diggy4 · 03-08-2008, 08:46 AM

we arent in the blizzard area....Being we are used to the snow now noones really freaking yet. We had 8 on the ground from tuesday...got 3 yesterday....getting 7 today....YUCK....Diggy tore out the back door and well the bottom step is cover so he kinda went right over it and sank!!! I couldnt help but laugh...all i could see was his lil face, funny stuff....Good luck everyone...oh as far as path for the dogs to potty...I shovel the path about every hour help keep it half cleared but the winds kinda mess it all up.

We are having "movie night" tonight with the kids.

We have even set up the tent in the living room once before, and "camped" inside... the kids really enjoyed that!

I hope you can make it to Wicked!

thank God this one missed us! We've had records amt of snow & cold both here in Iowa this winter. Sorry you're dealing with it though! We are suppose to climb into the 40s & 50s starting Monday -- we'll push some warm air you're way

It was 0 this morning, but I'm hoping the warmth will melt all our snow & that will be the end of the white stuff this year!!

As far as taking the dogs out, if they have steps to go up & down, I would definitely carry them down yourself. Put them where you want to go & then bring them back up, so the wind doesn't get the best of them

Please push push push a LOT of warm our way! I am ready!! We had an IceCream cake for my Bday yesterday, I teased the kids and told them we should put on our bathing suits and flip flops, and lather up the suntan lotion so it would smell and feel like summer, but they just thought I was nuts!

PunkinPie · 03-08-2008, 08:55 AM

eek that is a lot of snow. We take Punkin out in ALL weather. It sucks but we do it. We keep her on a leash and she makes quick work of doing business when
it is nasty out. We both gear up with appropriate clothing and out we go. I keep a shovel right by the door so I can shovel a spot for her in the backyard.

I've been trying to get her to use a pee pad in bad weather but no luck. I put her on it and she jumps off no matter how much coaxing. We got her at 8 months ( she'll be 3 next month) and the breeder said she was paper trained, but she only wants to go outside. A good problem to have though.

marycrank83 · 03-08-2008, 08:59 AM

We are in the blizzard conditions here in Tipp City OH. The snow is still falling and we have 2 foot high snow drifts in our back yard. Our street has not yet been plowed and schools were dismissed early yesterday. We are experiencing white outs. My 20 year old is out driving in it in a 4 wheel drive and worrying me. My 13 year old went over to a friends after the early school dismissal yesterday and is still there safe and sound but i am missing him!!!
Now my Ollie is having a blast in it---running-digging-jumping. We have had fun watching him but he is just a mess when he comes in with little ice balls attached everywhere!!! My gosh-- i shoveled him a path but he doesnt use it! LOL
