Mischief Monday - A Road To No Where - By Zaphod

 Dear pals,

I was so mad, I didn't talk to my Lady for 2 days. This is what happened. 

I am not talking to you Lady

Weather context: Tuesday and Wednesday had been mild days, so things started to melt. We had rain! Thursday, things started to freeze and it got snowy, so this made things slippery. 

Thursday night, Lady and I headed out for my Librela shot. The vet is about 25 minutes away. The roads weren't great, but Lady drove a bit slower and we were safe. We passed an accident. Just as we got to the edge of the town that my vet is in, the firefighters made us turn around, the road was closed.

For those of you who don't live in the country, sometimes the only road to somewhere is the highway. So with the road being closed, we couldn't get to the vet.

Lady pulled over and called the vet and said we couldn't get there. They were very kind and rescheduled for Tuesday. Lady called Man to let him know what was happening and then we headed back on the road.

Well, we got to the first accident we had seen and the firefighters told us we had to wait while they cleared it away. So we waited, very impatiently, for about 30 minutes. We were stuck on the highway between 2 accidents. The firefighters told us to be careful as the roads were very slippery. 

This was our view for 30 minutes - See the car way up on the snowbank?

From here the 25 minute drive took about 50. Lady went really slow. At times the snow was blowing in a way that she couldn't see. It is a curvy hill, mountain road she doesn't know as well for most of it. It was scary for her. We saw a third accident. 

At some time, someone pooped in the backseat and this poop may have gotten on my tail. There was no safe place to stop and clean up, so we just kept going, with the smell of poop. 

Finally, almost 2 hours after we left, we were home, safe. We didn't even really slip. 

I was so mad at Lady, I wouldn't even talk to her, especially after she cleaned me up. 

Lady would like to say, she had no idea it was going to be so bad. If she had known we would not have gone. It was the worst driving conditions she had been in all winter. 

you pal, Zaphod, who did not enjoy just driving around in a snowstorm to no where!
