Yes, it is still snowing on top of the 2 ft we already have on the ground. I decided to help Matt out and do some of the shoveling...ughh.
We thought it was time to move Namir's beds away from the heaters since all he has done is sleep there for the past 4 days. It is cute and all until he finally wakes up last night at midnight and decided to cry and cry and cry. By 4 am, I stopped feeling sorry for him and put him in the basement, which is not heated. He was fine. So when he was standing at the back door watching me shovel, looking like he really wanted to go outside, this is what he got..................
We are under a blanket of snow again. Lavi is happy as a pig in sh*t when we take her out to play. Namir is happy in his bed next to the heating vent. All I want to do is cook. I have big plans for a red velvet cake...mmmmm.
Upon our return from Visalia yesterday (Visalia post yet to come), we arrived home to ice covered streets in our neighborhood following a winter snow storm we missed while away. At first we were bummed to miss Lavi and Namir's first snow storm to see how they really felt about the snow. Well, we did not have to wait too long. By 10 am this morning, more snow was falling soon to be followed by freezing rain.
I thought it would be fun to let Namir see what this white stuff is all about (since he is a true So Cal kitty). At first he enjoyed being outside and walking around, but he came back to the door pretty quickly to get back in. Now we can find him sitting in his bed right in front of the heating vent.
Lavi on the other hand, had great fun at Susan and Doug's house over the weekend playing in their backyard (and warming herself in their bed). For a dog that dislikes water so much, we are suprised to see how much she loves the snow. We guess it is similiar enough to the sand at the beach.
The snow is a little bit more impressive today. Lavi seems to finally be taking a liking to it as she explores our snow-filled backyard for the first time.
We are probably the only people in Portland who are excited about it snowing in March. Although it did not stick and the sun is peaking out now, it was still pretty cool for us newly transplanted So Cal folks. Lavi on the other hand is really not a fan of "weather". She has been hailed on at the park and now snowed on at home, not to mention the increase in rain she now contends with on a more frequent basis. But have no fear, she does a very good job of keeping herself warm under the covers every day.
