Can just see you with that huge bag of poop. Too funny!

LOL, by the time I related the story to the 4-year-old's Mom, who was curious why her children looked like they'd narrowly escaped a tsunami, it was more of a "boost" than a "flung."

Too funny! And what I really like is how Eddie just took matters into his own hands, and left. Who said dogs aren't smart?

I am still laughing.

YUUUUKKKKK.... DEFINATELY sounds miserable to me. I HATE HATE HATE snow!! As far as I am concerned we got too much snow here in Oklahoma this year. Glad spring is here. Be careful in the "quick snow" until it is gone.

Comfort to Mike &

Hugs to Eddie and Jack

Rhapsody · 04-09-2007, 07:07 PM

I sympathize. But I've always admired how you get outdoors with Eddie and Jack in spite of the weather. I admit, I'd probably turn into a hermit during the winter and spring months if I lived in Alaska. Also, I'll confess I was laughing by the end of your story, but I still sympathize through the tears of laughter. . . really, lol. . .

First of all just having to put on snowshoes would have been enough for me to stay in. My hat is off to you - when we get about 12" of snow in IL I have every excuse not to go out the front door.

You write with such visual effect - I could actually see you hauling a bag full of poop, childrens boots running over with water and snow and dogs soaked and miserable.

ldenise · 04-09-2007, 08:08 PM

I don't blame you at all ... I hate spring too! spring thaw is worse sometimes than winter itself. this is one of the reasons that I moved south.
by the way.......... have you ever thought about writing a book about your adventures?

SophieRose · 04-09-2007, 08:17 PM

PS How long did it take for the boys to become used to their boots because they are so agile in the snow?

Thanks for understanding, everybody, lol! Another two weeks, maybe 3, it will all be gone!

And SophieRose, it took about two weeks of daily use for them to tolerate them. Once they stopped fighting me, they forgot they had them on.

Eddie proves once again what Evil Wee's known all along that He's one smart dog! I love it when they look at you like you're crazy cos you haven't figured out what they already know.

I'm pretty sure that kiddie flinging is a sport in the highland games - maybe you could get into competitive kiddie tossing - an excellent way to wile away the hours.

IluvLucy · 04-10-2007, 02:53 AM

I know it wasn't funny at the time, but after dealing with auditors all day yesterday and looking forward

to it again today, I cracked up.

All I could think of was how smart Eddie was! Those kids now have an official adventure to talk about! Thank God the moose didn't put in an appearance

AngelWorks · 04-10-2007, 02:58 AM

I am never complaining about mud season again.

kalina82 · 04-10-2007, 03:12 AM

omg poor jack stuck in a slush puddle. i could just see it too because that would be morgan. sloshing around not being able to get out. I love that eddie was just like 'whatever guys im going home'.

i agree with your neighbor, why didn't you drop the bag of poop? LOL

Patti · 04-10-2007, 04:49 AM
