Snow Gone

Buddy's afternoon was full of shopping. Hardware store, department store, and another hardware store. As usual we met an interested person - a potential puppy raiser. Her niece raises service puppies in Indiana, so we explained the program and provided her with OccuPaws literature. Since Lisa had a service dog, the attendant at one of the hardware stores thought she was in need of assistance, so he was very helpful.

With the warmer weather there are more distractions out and about so we walked to a restaurant for our dinner. We passed kids on bikes, families playing basketball, and the most distracting little girls' screams.

On the way home we noted that one of us is really going to miss the snow. Buddy has grown accustomed to climbing on the snow piles to go potty. Coming home after dinner, he kept searching for the appropriate snow pile. He doesn't like the dirty ones or the icy ones or the short ones or the ones his feet sink into. He was crying because he needed to go potty , but couldn't find the right snow bank. He will need to adjust quickly to the snow being gone.


I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. -Gilda Radner
