this morning i woke up to the sound of Manu growling softly in his crate. i
figured there was a deer in the yard or something, so i came out to see what
it was.
snow.
apparently last night's rain storm turned to snow.

for those of you in the east and midwest who are sick of the stuff already,
please remember that snow is something we get very rarely out here in the
pacific northwet, something that neither Manu or Lola has seem much of
before. i think Lola saw half an inch one day last year, but she was so
young, who knows if she remembers it.

the dogs were NOT amused. they both sat at the back door to go out, neither
one ready to budge from their seat. they kind of looked at me like, "hell
no, it's COLD out there! and who knows what that white stuff is all about."

i wound up having to leash them and lead them outside to do their morning
routine. Manu seemed pretty curious, he's trying to figure out how to eat
it without freezing his nose off... but Lola skirted the edges of it and
stayed as dry as possible. she's a delicate little flower, that one. ;-)

anyway, snow is pretty exciting stuff 'round here. it's still coming, so
hopefully it'll stick past noon for once.
