Punxsutawney whatever. Bring on the extra weeks of winter. How else am I going to build a snow maze for my dogs to play in?
The snow maze brings day after day of fun for them and gobs of humor for me. I'm the rare bird that doesn't mind shoveling because I think it's pretty good outdoor exercise at a time when I'm not outdoors as much as I'd like to be. I don't like gyms, see, so I prefer to find everyday (and free) ways to try to stay in shape.
I'm kind of thrilled with winter at this age and time.
I still know my way around the entire skyway system in downtown like I did when I was a kid so downtown activities are no bother. But now I know the good nearby parking spaces, too.
I still know where to get a good plate of fries or bowl of chili, but now I know the warmth of a good mocha or Irish coffee.
I still appreciate the closeness of everything as I did before I knew how to drive, but now I have an enclosed garage to replace long waits for parent pick-ups.
Instead of guessing at bus times, I can check my mobile phone for all schedules. And I can afford a cab if need be.
The only crappy thing about winter in Saint Paul is working in Edina.
great video…. great posting
very cool! literally
Cool Video. Good thing you have 2 dogs because it wouldn’t be as funny with only 1 dog.
I’m watching that wondering “are those Shiba Inu’s?” And they are!! The music matches that perfectly. I’ll have to do that next time it snows here.
Great music, great dogs. Thanks for the fun post.
Have a nice day.

That video is awesome! Being in TX we dont get snow that much but we did this winter and my dogs went wild in it. We have video of them sliding all over the place. They werent used to the slipping and sliding around!
What a riot! Where did you find the background music? Is that from Benny Hill?
I watched it with my dogs and now they are been bugging me to build a maze…problem is, we only have an inch of snow here
