<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">We have snow. Quite a bit compared to none at all. There are trails in the yard and the street is not completely melted off altho the main streets are.</font></font></div><div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Nigel has not been outside since it snowed and two or three times yesterday he went to the back door and was summarily marched back to the bed or couch.</font></font></div>
<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">I will not take him out in the back yard because we have to use a towel and it kills my back. I mean, I am done for the day. He goes out and walks clear around the yard and then comes back in. That's all. We have a big yard. Nevertheless, I think today he is going out. John doesn't know this yet. I will wait until John is hungry and then I'll say "Why don't you take Nigel around the yard and I will fix your lunch?" Only it isn't really a question at all. And he knows it.</font></font></div>
<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">The dogs are getting a treat for lunch. I made myself oatmeal with blueberries in it for breakfast and it tasted like stale cardboard with blueberries. Sorry, no can do. So there is a huge gob of it left, turning into cement in the bowl, and I will give everydog a dollop of it except Cooper, who feels the same way about oatmeal as I do. The Bassets love it. But I had one who ate soap, so it isn't surprising, really.</font></font></div>
