Disappearing

January 16, 2010 |

Brace yourself, pups, the following picture is very graphic.  The horror is almost unbearable to see.  Ready?  Ok, scroll down: Yep, that’s right pups.  Our snow has shrunk dramatically.  We still have some snow in the yard and along certain parts of our walk, but our road is almost totally clear and the humans are…
