Snow Daze

03 Mar 2006 05:32 PM

Having lived in NJ, PA, and VT, it's amazing how different reactions to snow can be. Up in Vermont, the plows were out and working as soon as the first flakes fell... around NJ it seems like they wait to get started until AFTER the storm has passed. Then again, my brother lived in North Carolina for a few years and they had a freak storm and NOBODY knew what to do! They ended up having tractors out trying to plow the roads!

I had the same problem with my Lally and the excitement/submissive piddling... thank goodness that she's more confident now and doesn't squat EVERY time somebody comes to visit. Just some of the time. ;)

I'm sure you'll be thrilled to hear I managed to syndicate my own blog! LOL Though your instructions were a little tricky because I don't use Firefox (so my windows look a little different) I managed to figure it out! Yay me! (And YAY YOU for the help!)

Awww, poor Nicki! Pet messes are NEVER fun... especially repeated ones! (I had my own pet mess disaster this week, I like to call it "Poopapalooza 2006")
