I Love You BUT...

Winston has been and IS a great companion and good natured dog but ... man, there are some 'issues' with being a pet owner!  This post is not for the weak ...
As spring approaches the 'mess' in the backyard, or rather, what's left of the backyard is UNBEARABLE!!!!!  And today I had to head out there to deal with some of it ...
As the snow piled higher and higher, memory of the cement pond obviously became a distant memory for Winston and so there were messes that were now visible and soon in danger of 
seeping into the water ... the thought of that disgusts me so ... out I went with rake and spade in hand!  I don't need to tell you what rain and mild temperatures do to 'messes' ... it was gruesome! And I am no where near finished the job!  The pool area is clear, as far as I can tell, but the rest of the yard ... deep breath inserted here!  There will be a new plan for next season ... get while it's frozen!!!!  Don't worry ... no photos here today!

We scoop as we go. In our old neighborhood the house behind us was on higher ground and they had two dogs too. They wouldn't scoop all winter so all the runoff would be in our yard. Thanks, guys!!!!

Enjoying the blog!!!!
