What's happened to our fence?

I'm sure we used to have more than three bars on our fence.....

The neighbour's dog has discovered he can jump over it.

Luckily, ours haven't yet.

It's beautiful, though.

But when will the shovelling end?

Someone suggested put a tarp down before it snows, then just drag it aside afterwards. Sounds worth trying.

I'd never imagined I would be skiing with the dogs every night, instead of walking them, but you just can't walk in this.

Looking in through the farmhouse front door, the snow is backing up in the kitchen

But you can pick yourself a cool cocktail stick out there.

Surviving the snow

Dogs and snow go well together

While cats perfect the art of staying warm

Wuwu loves to bake herself in this box above the fire until she goes critical. And then it's maximum exposure by the cat flap.

They've also discovered indoor entertainment. We call this pusty tv.

But sometimes you just have to go out.

And then its a miffed pusty with pusty snowballs.

Persistence pays

Allie's take on how to make friends and influence people.

Step 1 - go in, bum first.

Step 2 - ignore their objections

Step 3 - how cute!

Following that success, the next day she decided to crack a tougher nut...

Step 1 - go in, bum first.

Not quite so confident of a good outcome this time...

Step 2 - ignore objections 

Step 3 - not bad!
