Snowed In or Under

My car, the dog’s house and I are all snowed in or under, which ever you prefer. Argh, this means I’ll be here, inside my cold prison hell, on Independence Day. That’s okay though, I have new plans. Yesterday I kidnapped my roommate and had him take me to Wal-mart at donut-point. Well, it wasn’t a donut, it was a cinnamon roll. The man will do anything for food. So, we went up there and got my movie so I can have a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon on the second. I also got fixin’s for my traditional breakfast and lunch. Dinner is still up in the air. Sooooo, since we’re going to have a real winter this year it looks like I’ll be inside this time. Twelve inches of snow!!! Twelve!!!! This is what surrounds the Aussiemobile right now. My street hasn’t’ been plowed at all. It’s a sad state of affairs out here. Not even Brody wants to go outside which means he’s inside most of the time.

What happens when you have a puppy with cabin fever? Well, he gets in trouble ALL THE TIME. He chases Grace until she falls over on her back and weeps. I can all but hear her say, “I miss Captain.” The thing is, usually they play well together but sometimes Grace isn’t in the “lets play with the slobbering puppy” mood. Sometimes he slobbers on her so much she looks like she had a bath. She walks around kicking her back leg like she stepped in water but really Brody chewed on her back leg. Trust me, I miss Captain too.  This is one of the first anniversaries or special occasions without him. Another new phase in my life is that now I constantly say – No, stop! or What on God’s earth are you doing? or Down, down, damnit get down what the hell is wrong with you? I think my favorite is, “I sooo will give you klonapin if you don’t leave Grace alone.”

Brody can’t sleep outside either seeing as how his house is under a few inches of snow. This means he sleeps inside full time now. Did you know even puppies snore? Yup, it’s true. They snore like grown men. This is where I think to myself, I miss Ladybird. She was dainty, didn’t snore, didn’t expel horrible bursts of air or anything like that. Well, I mean she attacked me twice but ya know…… my point is when she didn’t bite she was quiet and all feminine. It’s kind of hard to make that point after what she did to me so I’m going to drop that.

So, my plan is to sit home and watch these three movies. I cheated and watched the third one last night. I couldn’t help it.
