Took the pups out to pee at four A.M. Went out just now to pee them again at 08:20 and we got a footnof freh snow--in four hours!! And it is still coming down. Have two full grown labs, but I had to clear a space for them to do business because the sniw is now halfway up their flanks and they were hopping like rabbits to get sround. :)

Labs are such great dogs. My mutts have a great lab friend named Stetson. He's the laziest lab I've ever seen! But gorgeous. Chestnut colored, thick wavy coat. Great dog.
