February 2010 has brought more snow than I have ever seen. At first it was a blast. I charged through the fluffy stuff, helped Mary knock it off the shrubs and the deck and played in the yard with Tom.

But now we have had so much snow that we have broken records and there is still more snow coming. At this point the last thing I need is more snow.

If you measure to the top of my head it is only 17 inches and as you can see in the photo, the snow is higher than that.  This limits my yard patrolling to paths that Mary made for me and other paths that I have created for myself by bunny hoping through the drifts.

If you can visualize it, my problem is that male dogs need a certain amount of potty space, and that is just not provided by a belly wide path with sides that  tower over my head. I know better than to potty on the shoveled off deck and I am not allowed out on the ice on the lake. My options are shrinking with every snowfall.

Enough already! I hope the spring thaw gets here soon.
