It has been a very fun snow day. Aside from the fact that although we dismissed school early and it still took me two hours to get home, this has been very fun. I have cooked up some yummy pad thai, drank some peppermint hot chocolate, taken a little snooze by my Christmas tree...but by far the most fun has been watching my dog, Buffy, encounter snow. When I adopted her in October, I am pretty sure that they said she came from Florida so I don't think she's really encountered snow before. Last week when we had the ice snow, she refused to go to the bathroom for a day and a half. Eventually I figured it out...she was looking for the grass!

So now, she's gotten more used to going in the snow, but I don't think she was prepared for the blizzard. It's so deep outside the door that her little cocker spaniel body was half covered as we went outside. I kept her on the leash as I shoveled us a walkway but she went underneath the steps and got herself all tangled...so we were quite a sight trying to undo the leash and get her out of there! Then I was shoveling a path to the street and we met some other dog friends out for a frosty blizzard stroll as well. I took her around the block, but as we turned the corner, the plow has piled the corner so high, I had to lift her over it. By the time we got home....she looked like a snow dog, covered from head to toe! I let her in the house and went to clean her business as she did it in the middle of the street, and when I came back inside she was sprinting from room to room to room. She's been a bit wacky ever since.

I wonder what an eight year old dog thinks when they see snow for the first time. Maybe something along the lines of..."What the &%$@?" That's my guess .

Anyway, I am off to clean the kitchen from my yummy dinner and watch Buffy season on my computer as I do so. I thought it was fitting...Buffy and I watching her namesake as we are snowed in.

Maybe I might open the door and scoop some snow for snow cream! Oooooh the possibilities are endless!
