Even dogs like snow days

If you don't know, I live in New England, and this year has been a crazy snowy year so far.  I don't remember ever seeing this much snow in such a short time since I was a little girl. We've had a storm a week for about four weeks, and apparently we've got another coming in again next week. *sigh* I like snow, it reminds me of simpler days of snowmen, snow angels, sledding and snowball fights, but there comes a time when even a snow liker will say: "enough is enough!"


The second snowstorm we had here lasted nearly 12 hours.  During those hours, I managed to carve some time out- read "muster the nerve"- to bundle myself up and head outside with Molly, the family's black labrador.  She loves snow.  She runs and jumps and plays and chases the snow when we toss it. Yeah, she loves snow days.  Now, there is so much snow that it is swallowing her up.  It is up past her shoulders and she can't hardly find a place that she can reach to do her business.  She is sad and a bit cranky; she just wants to play in it, but there is just too much for her.


Below I have attached some pictures of a happier snow day.
