More snow flurries today. I've decided the first snow fall of the year is much less magical when it happens before Thanksgiving and you know that it's only going to get much, much worse. I'm already thinking of breaking out my long underwear!

Speaking of winter, I finally got Harper some of those dog boot/mittens to protect their feet from ice and salt. We put one on her, and you would think we were torturing her. She would NOT put her paw down on the ground and shook it and chewed at the boot almost frantically (for her) until she got it off. Those are going back to the store, and we'll just stick with the method we've been using all these years of just avoiding the salty patches.
