Update

More snow news....we have 8 1/2 inches on the ground and it continues to pour down in blizzard like conditions!! The TV healed itself and the news tells us we may get a foot or more!! Southern California is in no way prepared to deal with this volume of snow. Slowly but surely we are becoming "paralyzed". The freeways look like parking lots and the roads are slippery and icy. Businesses are closing early and kids are building snowmen and having snowball fights.

I took my dogs outside to play and once they got used to this "strange white stuff" they had a ball running, jumping and playing. The cold seemed to invigorate them and I had to stop their rough housing so close to the pool. With the icy deck I was afraid they would go sliding into the frigid water! Although, honestly, if they had, I'm sure they would have been just fine. Hunting Labs go plunging into icy streams and lakes all the time. It's just that my girls are spoiled California dogs and not used to the cold.

SNOW DOG!!!

I know you folks that live in snow country think that all this "hoorah" over a little snow is silly but this is SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!! It is seriously big news to us.
