A bit of progress. Click on any of the following pictures for a better look.
A path for Teddy to get to her favorite guarding spot.
Teddy and her short little stocky legs are not enjoying these conditions.
She sat here looking out for most of the day.
She kept looking at me like the snow was my fault.
While laying in the doorway, she was covered in snow on her left side.
You can see my downed arborvitaes. We can't get out of the driveway.
It dropped down to zero last night and now they are all frozen in place.
Chow chows are very neat dogs. They are very fussy about where they poo and pee. Teddy sat by the doors and barked to tell us she needed to go to the bathroom. But there was no place for her to go. You can see in this pic that we sort of made a poo path to the back yard.
You can see that the snow is almost up to the wood burning oven door on the left in the back.
You can't even walk through it without falling.
The planter looks like a big marshmallow.
My grill.
On the left is Teddy's guarding path. The path to the right is the pee path. The snow melt is finally working in places.
As we shoveled this path, Teddy was right on our heels.
Thanks mama! Now I can guard.
I figured no one wanted to see her using the other two paths!

Congatulation to Mama Feoneafey!
For Valentines Day, or should I say the day before, I'll be attending a friend's dessert party and bringing a home made chocolate cheesecake :)
P.S.- I love your Halloween countdown! As you'll soon find out in a few months, I am Halloween CRAZY! hehe.
I hope the trees bounce back.. it would be a shame to lose such mature trees.
Stay warm and safe.
I am rethinking my need for snow. Maybe not.
I am sitting here in a toasty house. The weather outside is now at 57 degrees, and the sun is shinning. Even the petunia's are blooming in the back yard and they should already be gone. However..California has a bad habit of suddenly freezing everything just when you think you are safe. :)
You are such a GOOD Mom to even dig a "guard dog" path of Teddy.
Love,
Mona
Did someone not wish for snow? Did someone not say she wanted lots of snow?
Huh?
heh heh
For Valentine's day...it's the last day for the chocolate shop and my first day of unemployment. Yay. If I still fit into my big-girl panties I'll be going to a potluck. Otherwise I'll be at home self-medicating with booze and Ben & Jerry's.
I can't believe the amount of snow you got! I had heard people talking about a storm - but wow! I hope the trees/bushes in your yard will be okay - it makes me sad when they break under all that snow weight!
wow..that is some snow...and the look on Teddy's face tells it all...
she is adorable....i love her....
stay warm.....

For Valentine's Day...cooking nice food fer sure...maybe scalloped oysters. My boyfriend is a little weird about the day because it's his wedding anniversary w/his ex. He's romantic enough to make up for it throughout the year, though. :)
Have a great day

And the pieces that you're offering up next are so pretty! It is unusual to have a matching set like that.
Poor Teddy. She looks so resigned, and then so happy that she has her paths! I'm sure that the fastidious little girl cherishes her privacy, even more than we, who are respecting it!
I'm happy that you got your snow like you wished for, but I'm sorry that your landscaping took a beating.
Let's hope that this doesn't do a repeat when you are travelling! We are now under a winter storm watch for Monday night, until Wednesday afternoon, with a predicted 9 - 12 inches. We'll see. Love that winter!!
I am an anti-romantic! So no valentine's plans -- except I did just finish making my menu plans for the next few weeks so my hubby will be very happy to be having meat (it only happens once or twice a week) as I was gifted a nice local (Ontario) rack of lamb.
I am afraid valentines is just like christmas to me - commercialized and guilt-ridden extravaganzas of spending... Why can't we put the intended sentiments into our everyday actions?
sorry I vented...

I've never seen snow like that - not that I think I would enjoy it... I live in an area that rarely gets below 6celcius in winter = no snow. If I could care to drive an hour or so, I could get to the snowfields. .... but nah....
snow looks so cold!

in Victoria Aust - 36c summer day.
Valentine's Day isn't that big in Germany, yet I plan to bake some heart-shaped cookies. :)
Greetings from Munich,

On Valentine's day, man and I have a tradition that gets back to our beginning 11 years ago : we go see a horror movie ! Really ! Just not to be like everyone else. ;)
This year it will be the werewolf movie with del Toro and Hopkins : funny how often Hopkins grants us a horror movie for Valentine day...
My husband is a chef. The restaurant he works at is already completely booked solid for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights! He will be working 16 hour days each day. SO, we will not be celebrating V-day! We usually celebrate afterward and get the discounted candy and goodies... LOL It's all about the love, not the day....
Not sure what we are doing for Valentine's Day either as my honey is not the mushy romantic type so I will probably just make a nice dinner for the 2 of us.
And wow, Jaz...I just can't believe all that snow!
