Petey and the Snow

We got 3 or 4 inches of snow yesterday and a nice top coat of ice over night. It is a very pretty sight to look at - sort of sparkly. Last night before the ice, Petey seemed to cope fairly well with having to go outside to do his business. Once he came in with snow all over his nose where he'd checked it out. This morning however, he is most unhappy. He is too light to break through the ice, which I think is a good thing. He'd have half of his leg covered if he broke through. His problem, I think, is the severe cold. The temps will get in to the single digits tonight even before taking wind chill in to consideration. I put his snuggi on him which was further insulting, and then John left.

John just went outside to take some pictures of the house. My picture taking was limited to what I could get from the front or back porch. Petey let John have it. John was covered head to toe, so it was hard to tell who he was, but I think Petey knew it was him. He really, really got going when John decided to walk down the street a way to check on conditions there. I think Petey was telling him to come back inside where it was warm. When John came back from his trek, we were watching out the window for him and Petey tuned up again. John got a couple of shots.

The red thing covering Petey's face is a dead rose! Be sure and click on the pictures to make them bigger. You really need to see the expression on Pete's face.
