Defrosting

We've had a bit of a dry spell with three consecutive sunny days.  While the sunshine has helped to melt much of the snow, there are still patches of snow, ice, and slush on sidewalks and trails.  Plus, with all of the snow melt, grassy areas are soft and muddy. I haven't taken Tahoe or Ashley out as much as I should because of the slippery and soggy conditions. 

We did, however, manage to make it out for a walk on Sunday but it was so muddy that I needed to give both Tahoe and Ashley baths afterward. I don't have the time (or energy) to walk them AND give them baths everyday so... much to their dismay... we have not gone on a walk for the past few days.

Superbowl Update:
Well, it seems that Tahoe has a knack for making football picks.  He came very close with his selection of Green Bay winning by 9 points... personally, I think he confused the 9 with the 6 -- easy mistake for a dog to make.  Also, I think that Ashley didn't understand the instructions. Instead of selecting the winner, she simply predicted that Pittsburgh would score 25 points which, was spot on. (We may just have to test their skills again for March Madness...)
