3:00 snapshot #1194: Very early blizzard photos

IMG_0758

3:00 yesterday afternoon was very early in the historic blizzard of 2013. I had been sent home from work at 11:30, and wind-blown icy snow had been falling for some time, but it wasn't adding up to much.

Charlie wasn't much into being outside, but I made him stay out for several minutes, even resorting to using a laser pointer. I knew what was coming and he didn't.

Our evening dogwalk was conducted early, with driving snow in our faces.

A Valentine's wreath on my neighbor's door in the whistling wind reminds us that February isn't all hearts and chocolate.

Our own house--stone and cement standing stalwart against the elements. Go Contentment Cottage!

Totally off-topic. A friend of mine tweeted this yesterday:

"Does anyone here know of pit bulls who could be trusted around small animals like ferrets? I'm mulling adopting one, as I miss having a dog"

And I thought of you, and the work you do with pit bulls. She and her husband usually have about a half-dozen ferrets at any one time (they take in ferrets-in-need) so the dog would have to be really good with small animals.

I sent your comments to my friend. She says thank you to both of you, and that this gives her hope that she can have a dog and ferrets when she's ready to do so. I know she'll give them all a good home.
