I do not like this monthly trip. First, I didn't get breakfast, so I couldn't throw up in Lady's car to show her how displeased I was. (I did throw up a little when I got home, out of the car). Then I saw a dog across the parking lot who did not seem friendly (he was in a room by the time I got inside, Lady took her time going in). Then they commented on my weight (I lost a few pounds). Then they discussed my poop eating (hello, private information here!)

These winds knocked trees and branches down, including one that landed on the hydro line behind our house. This took out our power starting at about 4:30 pm on Wednesday.</p><p>Then the weather turned very cold. Overnight it went down to -18C/0F. The power stayed off. Even with the generator and fire, parts of the house got cold. For some reason the internet didn't like the generator (it is usually ok) and caused problems. Lady had to wear gloves while working in her office. Man got fed up and took the afternoon off and went to a movie. During an outing we decided to run away in the afternoon to look for power. Lady brought us back from the sugar shack. She was thrilled to have spent 30 minutes chasing us around Callie's yard. When trying to fill the generator Lady got covered in gas. Lady was grumpy and miserable and eventually gave up trying to work too. </p><p>The power returned around 5:30 pm. It has been a long 25 hours. </p><p>Now you would think the mischief would have ended when the power came back, but it didn't. When hanging our leashes up and turning off the garage light, I snuck in. Lady didn't notice. Man was on a work call and Lady was in the tub and she heard the garage door sort of opening and closing. She realized what had happened and jumped out of the tub and ran, leaving a trail of bath water, to the garage. I was very upset. She said it was an accident. I can't believe she locked me in the garage for 87 million years (it was maybe 45 minutes at the most). </p><p>Anyways, it was a horrible, terrible, not good day and I am glad it is over.</p><p>Your pal Phod</p><p>Remember to go to yesterday's post for our contest - it is early this year! </p>Ktenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14743862262518011068noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357572045023259154.post-6319467595240957322024-03-04T06:00:00.002-05:002024-03-04T06:00:00.137-05:00When Will The Snow Be Gone - Contest is Staring Early<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvHqa2M1F3YHkoKu9g52l6zHPdGxcL64Dj_CkHJTn0JAXi-kF2U3fGtzhsrCS0KK7QROGvGMNQxGia73xZ6bAIX5ddYLUmBO5cU4eNsouuATCs8JL1bWWSiWb80V8LMr5niRie3rags2IgCVynoCIDpo0z-TxB1v2pQZ-wtcCAguisp_P37WcfWKTSEom/s1728/IMG_2158.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1728" data-original-width="1296" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvHqa2M1F3YHkoKu9g52l6zHPdGxcL64Dj_CkHJTn0JAXi-kF2U3fGtzhsrCS0KK7QROGvGMNQxGia73xZ6bAIX5ddYLUmBO5cU4eNsouuATCs8JL1bWWSiWb80V8LMr5niRie3rags2IgCVynoCIDpo0z-TxB1v2pQZ-wtcCAguisp_P37WcfWKTSEom/w480-h640/IMG_2158.PNG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Long time readers will know all about this event. You may notice it is starting early. That is because we have had a wild winter. From November to end of February we got 77 cm/30 inches of snow when the average is at least 200cm/79 inches. It has also been a very mild winter with lots of thawing. Because we don't know if this snow is going to stay much longer, we have decided to start our contest early.</p><p>The rules:</p><p>Pick a date between March 9 2024 and well whenever you want.

As far as winters go, this hasn't been a terrible one. Overall it was warmer and we had way less snow (of course because it is the first year Lady bought snow removal for the driveway!). Overall, this winter is probably not a good thing, as it is likely an indicator of climate change. However, as humans and dogs it is hard to complain in the moment about. The only real drawback to this winter was the conditions thus far haven't been great for snowshoeing so Lady hasn't gone much. </p><p>At any rate, we had a bit of extreme cold last week. By extreme cold, we mean below -20C/-4F. These tend to be the most beautiful sunny days. We spent a long time just enjoying being outside (long time at that temperature is probably 15-20 minutes). Generally we just pup around, smelling the ground and smelling the air (especially if there is a bit of a wind).</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-qk2NDXlWs-VZTIWVrXG5-YYHMTaEnIO1tzaklemfSQbk7-XrxDzsMQkTAgpXEKbdLNG0il-L4-M8kK4UI2yroJIiXtjIISDK3HpyFWAH8ByZhgIGdPEp7CmvNSHSO-FaKxtWcp77DKWnZrGp_nn0MBmYxOlxdAus7fLASlfe7bsBTKyhe7ztC33Aj7lK/s4032/IMG_5426.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-qk2NDXlWs-VZTIWVrXG5-YYHMTaEnIO1tzaklemfSQbk7-XrxDzsMQkTAgpXEKbdLNG0il-L4-M8kK4UI2yroJIiXtjIISDK3HpyFWAH8ByZhgIGdPEp7CmvNSHSO-FaKxtWcp77DKWnZrGp_nn0MBmYxOlxdAus7fLASlfe7bsBTKyhe7ztC33Aj7lK/w480-h640/IMG_5426.jpeg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Looking down the drive way across the field</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTkLQqYt7RLy6K2xWjShvwKyK0hmiBZJ6bdOSixDR6UQm-G-mdNTep0zosVwVbNpCiL1y4qqln26n-fNHiWwvsTOZAfPYI6TZ7nUXPEdrkKbtDoRyaUYq7Ku90EiYZwnd5uXnFdvbAH2C1OxeEhDXgUJv6bv_VJ_pm-kbV6i__3vzJXsaD29lmIX2bRVo/s4032/IMG_5427.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTkLQqYt7RLy6K2xWjShvwKyK0hmiBZJ6bdOSixDR6UQm-G-mdNTep0zosVwVbNpCiL1y4qqln26n-fNHiWwvsTOZAfPYI6TZ7nUXPEdrkKbtDoRyaUYq7Ku90EiYZwnd5uXnFdvbAH2C1OxeEhDXgUJv6bv_VJ_pm-kbV6i__3vzJXsaD29lmIX2bRVo/w480-h640/IMG_5427.jpeg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sunny winter day</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Things got a bit of interesting last week when a helicopter was circling around.

As the last house on the line any problem before us is a huge problem! (It would cost the Lady and Man thousands and thousands of dollars to get hydro run in from the other side, so not a priority at this time - although as we were very, very cold with no hydro yesterday, maybe we will think twice about this).<div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgElOu9G3p2iucuG-Yd-YFIw1QpMw5GW6Y211y39AMxTVAfBbGlzPAfUe-QnE1yKEVcXG2qjWCpdhlk5S8u4LVwbKdcTc_Qu4150MlREkoPBbZ5QO0QTuvwfWg61QknitvqVqEP9GZCyOLRk2RYjOkguNdIWdJX-LF3xwWh5iXm22ATrWBBNAFTCCKnSIQO/s4032/IMG_5428.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgElOu9G3p2iucuG-Yd-YFIw1QpMw5GW6Y211y39AMxTVAfBbGlzPAfUe-QnE1yKEVcXG2qjWCpdhlk5S8u4LVwbKdcTc_Qu4150MlREkoPBbZ5QO0QTuvwfWg61QknitvqVqEP9GZCyOLRk2RYjOkguNdIWdJX-LF3xwWh5iXm22ATrWBBNAFTCCKnSIQO/w480-h640/IMG_5428.jpeg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The chopper in the winter blue sky</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLw7N8pWAQxxxGYQAshaS0cq4RHhhP3jKigQZYjbsJQ8AeGpBNCtA1iuk8BBv6inxSwkqU4UnYHo-l9iAfEBlTwhMG0vB2sVpKtZ0mZZbfOL_NiJ67C4r5no1mM67yHexQQcIX2A9NSI3E8yvnHCWMn-nPmyM9y5hIDFQ5BujJHDJYyL3B1-gEiKW9zMEp/s4032/IMG_5430.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLw7N8pWAQxxxGYQAshaS0cq4RHhhP3jKigQZYjbsJQ8AeGpBNCtA1iuk8BBv6inxSwkqU4UnYHo-l9iAfEBlTwhMG0vB2sVpKtZ0mZZbfOL_NiJ67C4r5no1mM67yHexQQcIX2A9NSI3E8yvnHCWMn-nPmyM9y5hIDFQ5BujJHDJYyL3B1-gEiKW9zMEp/w480-h640/IMG_5430.jpeg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Phod enjoying the sun</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>We will be starting our when will the snow be gone contest in the next few weeks.

However, even if we pick up all their poop we have the cat poop, deer poop, turkey poop, sometimes' Callie poop to deal with. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLuO2nMhKLNpPIeC3ixQtHTNfDP_IXKe_B_sQnODFPK5Uim1ujCbgIh7pX1RNeGRM7tP99fROZ5FGDzw2HFPmxxXHDWp5qrAxJxWHrXS3BIg1msQXkHHOo7TeVCitpDgBVj0WZuyoXTvhyphenhyphenSXjO9X0BaxGv_kV5a8oDqIm3bGeLX9tf9HYsFIQNLCV6hpuN/s4032/IMG_5431.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLuO2nMhKLNpPIeC3ixQtHTNfDP_IXKe_B_sQnODFPK5Uim1ujCbgIh7pX1RNeGRM7tP99fROZ5FGDzw2HFPmxxXHDWp5qrAxJxWHrXS3BIg1msQXkHHOo7TeVCitpDgBVj0WZuyoXTvhyphenhyphenSXjO9X0BaxGv_kV5a8oDqIm3bGeLX9tf9HYsFIQNLCV6hpuN/w480-h640/IMG_5431.HEIC" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Phod licking up turkey poop</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit4xlrBBLLnUhgWCHIxkzQNhRp_4Gkjvb3c2V5HEoOzt8dftMtgHyuunVT0yEdBcSHd3ip7ClRt-2QIlYaD6lUhnak1oPmPXiVweUkiPAs8OL1jclGeF3BtqgVK9FSibYSkLNV9qaBFMyxhU9EAwVze_Mi71ICoAOhWvwGu2J9zXTMfvAjwDXapjb8Kooy/s4032/IMG_5444.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit4xlrBBLLnUhgWCHIxkzQNhRp_4Gkjvb3c2V5HEoOzt8dftMtgHyuunVT0yEdBcSHd3ip7ClRt-2QIlYaD6lUhnak1oPmPXiVweUkiPAs8OL1jclGeF3BtqgVK9FSibYSkLNV9qaBFMyxhU9EAwVze_Mi71ICoAOhWvwGu2J9zXTMfvAjwDXapjb8Kooy/w480-h640/IMG_5444.HEIC" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hailey walking across the snow to look for poop</td></tr></tbody></table><br />For now, we will continue to be obsessed with finding answers and the dogs will continue to be obsessed with eating poop. <br /><br /><p><br /></p>Ktenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14743862262518011068noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357572045023259154.post-21711195543002571922024-02-23T06:00:00.001-05:002024-02-23T06:00:00.131-05:00Nature Friday - Turkey<p>Thanks to <a href="https://llbinourbackyard.blogspot.com/">Rosy and Sunny</a> for hosting this event.</p><p>The turkeys are around almost every day.

In spite these heartbreaks, her friends insisted she come and were still gracious hosts. It didn't feel like they had been apart for almost 2 years.</p><p>Lady went to a place called the Leaf.

This is the lot beside Callie's house that Callie's people own. Lady calls it the lot of requirement because it is the lot that becomes whatever Callie's people need it to be. For awhile it was empty and we liked to poop there (we called it poop corner). Then Callie's grandpa put his RV there and spent time there. Currently, it is housing a car and boat for winter and the place that Callie's people keep their firewood. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><br />Come check it out with me!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
