Still snowing, we had a busy day as well as our food shopping, there was a doctor visit and a trip to the vet with Winnie.
The snow was driven by a strong wind that created a “white out” situation, something that a hundred drivers found out on the motorway between Zeeland and Hudsonville. The pile up was so bad it was featured on the National News.
The roads were all snow covered, the city were spreading sand as salt was not effective at such low temperatures, but with careful speed control, we got to the doctors without incident.
Her check up went well, and generally her sleep patterns were consistent.
Next stop was taking Winnie to the vets for another distemper jab and a general check over.
Her weight had doubled since we got her at over seventeen bounds, I knew that, as I carry her outside very often.
There is a mystery as to her lineage, she is mostly Labrador with a touch of hound, and a smidge of naughty child.
Afterwards, whilst Kelli went in to Nature’s Market I sat in the car with Winnie on my lap watching the people going in and out of the store.
Then it was back home to put Winnie into the cage whilst we finished our shopping expedition.
This was desperately needed as the fridge was bare.
Getting back was a relief, but then I had to don on some warm clothes to use the snow blower to clear the driveway.
I finished that job looking like a snowman thanks to the wind.
I am definitely ready for this to stop, it’s okay, and pretty to see, but I’m bored with it now.
