Winter Wonderland

I went to sleep early last so I would not be watching the storm all night. When I got up at 7am, I looked outside and saw a beautiful white blanket of snow. It was pristine and untouched and looked like a cloud. By later this afternoon, it will be a rumpled mess. I feel bad for dogs in this weather. Shelby is about 14 inches high but the snow is higher in my yard. Do the math. If he walks in it he will be lost. When he squats he will have icy "private parts". The only solution is to quickly make a snow runway so he can go outside for a few minutes. We made the runway and put on Shelby's winter coat and took him outside. Now we are de-icing his paws.
