Re: [pyrnet] Deaf Pyrs and Cabin Fever

Is Toby a pyr ???  who hates to get wet ???  I had a mixed breed girl (Golden Mom and black lab and Doberman Dad)  named Sofee but who we often called "Prissy Paws" because she hated to step into water of any kind.  She would step on the wet porch, then raise her paw and shake it, repeated all the way across with each paw in rotation, when she had to go at last.    I wish Charlie had a water avoidance gene but he loves muddy, dirty water which, of course, is the next season.  Meanwhile, he is too enjoying the snow.
 
We had thunder and lightning during the snow last night, with a power outage, but definitely no tornadoes.  I think I might have been under the bed, not just under the covers if there had been.

We had horrendous weather yesterday and during the night, I am amazed that we even have a roof on the house, the wind was so strong and the rain hit so hard that it was extremely scary. They say that a tornado sounds like a train well I could hear trains last night as I lay hidden under the covers!!! Today it is a lot calmer but it is now snowing AGAIN which I really appreciate because the rain was certainly turning everything into a bog, now it is a snow covered bog, infinitely better. We are retired so the snow doesn't necessarily interfere with our lives and both the dogs really love the snow for different reasons, Toby who hates to get wet loves to just lie in one spot and watch the world and Hannah, being a January baby just loves everything about it. We have guys in trucks, that could be considered the salt of the earth, callous on the hands,  type of fishermen, stop and tell us what beautiful dogs we have, always makes us smile!!

Does it really matter??  I had Charlie out walking last week and three people in cars made a special effort to stop and talk because they thought he was so beautiful. 
 
A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet ....  
 
Ok ok so I cannot stand the snow much longer.  4 inches last night and more to come on the week end.  Only a two hour delay in school today, the kids are going until July this year to make up all the days off so far.

Oh Amy,
 
You just struck my funny bone with this.  I can see a whole new breed coming they will be the NADPWDB  (North American Deaf Pyrs Who Don't Bark)  or just just NadPeeps...
 
Sorry guys -- It's 9 degrees -- 20 mph gusts and Maude barks to go out and barks to come in all in the same dog sentence....Zack is belly up on the couch and Casey is snoring on the hassock.  DH is home wandering and the cat is sleeping on my mouse.
 
Tea, who will be looking for one of the NadPeeps when the come out (or is it when she is put in?).  LOL
