We're hearing that our harsh winter last year is coming back. We are SO THANKFUL Snowmeggadon hasn't arrived here at the house. However we are SO HOPEFUL that our mountain, Mount Hood, will get all the snow it can handle!
We sure are missing you, old basset boys, Dude n Elvis.....

There is something magical about snow days. 'Tis the season. Snuggle up inside.... and put on your ear muffs and go enjoy the show.

Last year at this time, we'd already had a 10-day mega blast of snow in the Columbia River Gorge.... making it a white Christmas...

Who doesn't love a snow day? But several snow days of shoveling, just to get to the car, and rescue the car, does wear a dog mom out. Photo: (c) Barb Ayers, DogDiary.org
