We had snow. For one glorious morning, we had totally normal fluffy snow. I made the most of it, taking WeeE to the gardens, making snowballs, eating some snow when we got home. We get this once every few years anymore, so you can't pass up the opportunities.
Hundchen, though, can't be bothered. As Bill notes, mini-dachshunds have a design flaw. They are a tad too close to the ground, so when there is snow, his wee willy plows in the cold. He walks all hunched up, but really there is nothing for it.
WeeE doesn't grasp that greater design issue, but is well aware that Hundchen is a weather wimp. After our walk, she decided he needed a hat and snowboots. I tapped my desktop publishing abilities and whipped up this activity in InDesign. She loves it! We have now made 4 Hundchens and 4 "Fossies". It's probably key that the boots are Disney princess boots.
By the next morning, the snow was covered in ice and the president was making fun of all DC for being wusses. Yes. we are, with my dog as leader of the pack.
