Yesterday was the first snow of the season. I took Toby outside to play, and we decided to build a snowman. As I rolled the snow across the ground, I picked up pee spot after pee spot after pee spot. When I was done, I had more pee than snow. Toby was thrilled and even kicked the dirty snow into my face. (Thanks, Toby.) It was one of the grossest experiences I’ve had.
After some of the pee melted off, we decided that the snowman looked like a despondent cat.
You didn’t like my pee snow? I don’t believe it.

Looking for a gift this holiday season? Consider giving the gift of warmth with this hand quilted Bear Paw Quilt! Heating costs are projected to be 28% higher this winter, so a nice, cozy quilt could help keep utility bills down. Plus, what is more fun than snuggling up together with someone you love on a cold, blustery evening?
This Bear Paw Quilt and other fine gifts are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.
Wow, these snowflakes are so beautiful!
I wish I could show them to mommy. I bet she would like them.
Snowflake bouquets taste almost as good as the regular ones!

Here is Toby staring at my boots telling me to start the game.
This has got to be Toby’s favorite game in the whole world. Every time it snows, we play “Kick the Snow’ for hours. Look at those teeth! Look at those claws! This boy is dead set on killing himself some snow.
My neighbor saw us playing and said of Toby, “He’s bat-shit crazy, isn’t he?”. Short answer: yes.

This rustic Bear Paw Quilt will keep you warm on cold winter nights. Bear Paw Quilt would fit nicely at the cabin by the lake or thrown over the couch. The pattern is geometric, and the colors are bold yet earthy. The overall effect is of paw prints in snow. On sunny days, the colors look so inviting it is hard not to lie down on them and take a nap.
Bear Paw Quilt is available from my shop.
Mommy’s boots and puppies’ boots
After a day of play.
They go with us on our ADventures
and then by the door they stay.
Climbing hills, breaking trails,
They go wherever we go.
We take them off when we say goodnight
And dream of more days of snow.
Ooh, tough break Toby.

Toby thought he liked snow until he encountered the deep stuff.
Now, like the rest of us, he is waiting for a thaw. *

While our snow stopped during the night, the wind continued till morning. We ended up with knee-high drifts over most of the yard. Toby still loves boinging out in the snow, but now that he has put on extra weight, he no longer lands on top. I suspect Geordie is having a big laugh at his expense this week!
