It is winter in Wisconsin and we don’t have any snow at our house.
I hate that.
The dusting that we got overnight is not enough to make a snowman, go sledding on the new sled, or go skiing.
No matter how much a certain almost four year old asks in a day there is only enough snow to make grassy snow angles.
The only benefit that I can find in this nasty circumstance is that Clara can get outside again.
Not that she couldn’t go outside when we had ten inches of the white stuff, it’s just that now she can walk, and when she falls over she can get back up again.
This means that we have been outside for longer than it takes to get ready to go outside. 
I count that as a major success!
Even with Clara’s increased outdoor mobility I still hate the cold without the snow, so I’ll keep on wishing for more.
In the meantime I have been thinking about people with little dogs.
In specific the people who shovel trails in their yards so their dogs can get around.
I’m just wondering… 
…would it work?

Well, some certain relatives of yours have over 30 inches of snow. Maybe you should come and check it out š
Now I’m all green with envy, thanks a lot!!!
Love the pics Jessie! Yes, we do have a lot of snow, and an 8 foot snowman in the front yard!
You wouldn’t even have to travel as far as Corky’s place… your friend has plenty of snow at her house, too. We did have to shovel a trail for Simon in order to avoid dog poop on the back step. James walked the “trail” a bit, but the snowy ground is still so uneven that its tough! And, all of the clothing does make it nearly impossible to stand back up once he is down! He gets in the “downward dog” position and yells “Mama!!!” Pathetically funny…
