Snow? In MN?

Lots and lots of snow! This second round of the white stuff, brought 14 inches to our sidewalk. We've got drifts over 24 inches and an average of 22 inches in the front yard. There's snow banks at the end of the driveway and by the mail boxes that are as tall as I am. I haven't seen snow like this in probably 15 years. It's AWESOME! Perhaps a little late in the year, but better late than never. Eh.

It was a slow week at work. I had a mostly full day on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, however, I was off at 12:00pm and 10:30am, respectively. Friday I worked till 7:00pm. Thursday I ended up being off. Which worked out well, since we were almost snowed in anyway. Weird. It sounds like we've got a full week coming up, so that's good.

We're going to look at our new puppy again on Saturday night. She'll, be getting her 8 week shots and then we'll be taking her home. Hopefully next weekend. Baring any unforeseen problems, that is. I can't wait. We had decided on the runt of the litter, but after a miss communication and another look we are going with a larger one. The runt is going t a different family. She's female chocolate lab. She seems to have a great personality, nothing seems to bother her. The guy that we're getting her from just started at Above All. It kind of worked out well, cause I've been looking for a while. I was working with him on Tuesday, and we were talking about dogs. I had mentioned that I was looking for a Lab puppy, and he told me that he had two females left from his litter of chocolates. I couldn't believe it! What are the odds? He brought the two females down to our house for us to look at. So far things are working out great. I've got to pick up the little crate from Todd, and his Spot Bot. Then we should be set!

Aimee, Yeah, the pup was there and we liked it and the price was right, so we decided to go for it. I just let Mel do her own "convincing." I think she's more excited than I am, now. We'll post the name when we get her. ;)

Thanks, Anne. I can't wait to get her.
