Willingham Woods

Yesterday a snow plough came to clear our road which meant I could finally go out after a whole week of being stuck at home! I took the opportunity to escape for an hour and went to Tesco (how sad am I?!)

Today I was on lates (only just got home and wide awake!) so this morning I took the dogs for a nice long walk in Willingham Woods. There weren't many people about which is always good, some places had lots of snow still, others not so much.

How mental are our dogs though, there is snow on the ground and all 3 decide to go paddling in a very deep stream! Silly dogs.

Thankfully we should be back at agility training on Thursday night as long as we don't get any more snow, I'll be glad to be honest, it seems like so long since we have done anything and Santa brought me some new agility trainers that I want to try out!!!

No Nuts For Us

Well we still have loads of snow! Today we have had mostly rain mixed in with the odd snow shower so it has started to melt and is quite slushy underfoot.

Yesterday having got fed up of being stuck indoors for a week me and the dogs took a walk over to Stella and Ambrose's for the afternoon. We had a nice dinner and the dogs played in some fresh snow (which pleased them) and then we walked back later last night.

We have had lots of trips to the field and they have still been playing out the back for hours on end, Heidi just doesn't want to come in!

Today we should have been at Agility Nuts but we didn't risk the trip. The show was confirmed as being on and the venue and route to it were clear but I didn't really fancy the drive this end to be honest not knowing what the routes out of the village are like so we stayed home instead. We have dog vegs anyway in 2 weeks time so fingers crossed the snow will have gone by then!

Frosty the Snowman

In case you hadn't guessed, we got more snow. If anyone was gonna get it obviously it was us! It snowed yesterday non stop for a good 12 hours and we have had some more today.

As I'm not at work now I decided not to be too miserable about it. The dogs had a good play in it on the field this morning before anyone else had been on then we came back and I built them a snowman (not really sure if it was for them or me!) Anyway the picture is of Megan and Frosty.

Needless to say he didn't keep his nose for long, Megan came trotting in from the garden with the carrot only a few minutes later!

I had intended on making him a bit taller but every time I put some snow on the pile Megan ate it so he wasn't actually growing and I gave up.

I'm hoping the roads out of the village are clearer tomorrow so that we can get to Agility training tomorrow night but we shall see, I've just noticed it's starting to snow again so maybe not.

We have had a two hour power cut this afternoon too and i doubt the bins will be emptied tomorrow (they weren't last time they were due either due to snow!) seems the whole world stops when you get some of the white stuff!

Much Better!

Well apart from still having a cold I'm feeling much better. We did have plenty of snow on Saturday night but not enough to prevent me from getting to work. Once out of our village the roads are clear (Apart from ice anyway).

Today has been my day off, it was nice to be off when everyone else was starting back to work (hehe!) This week is my favorite week on my shift rotation at work as I only have to work 1 day and that's tomorrow, then I'm not in again until the following Tuesday, yippee!

Today was a busy admin day, running errands and stuff. The dogs decided to help in that department too. Yesterday when I got in from work I left my bag (complete with lunch box in) in the utility room, whilst I was out today the dogs emptied my lunch box for me and ate the Wotsits that were in there for me too. (obviously they knew I would have left them in there for them to find!), maybe a clue that I should tidy my stuff away when I get in from work!

.

Anyway I did manage a little bit of agility with the dogs before it got dark tonight and all was well. There is a bit too much snow still at York Road though, I'm hoping it will have melted a little by Wednesday.

We are back to class on Thursday night but I have a feeling Heidi will come into season any day now so she might not get to go after all, still we shall see as on Sunday I am off to AgilityNuts with Brian and Heidi (and a day out for Megan!) so lots to look forward to this week.

A Bad Start!

I was back at work today so last night decided to have an early night as I was on earlies so have to be up at a ridiculous hour to walk the doggies before work. Anyway, it took me ages to get to sleep and then I was wide awake at 3.30am with a sore throat. Great. I must have dozed off again and woke to hear Megan whining, she never whines so I went to investigate and found she had shut herself in the spare room, Muppet!

Anyway after a horrible nights sleep I headed off for work and have felt progressively worse through the day and now have the full blown lurgy! As if that isn't crap enough I have just looked out of the window to find its GOD DAM SNOWING AGAIN and I'm at work again tomorrow! It's coming down really heavy and is sticking. Now usually I am all for the snow but we have had it pretty bad now for about 2 and a half weeks and it's getting a bit frustrating. God only knows how I will get to work in the morning if it doesn't stop as no roads get cleared around here!

The girls are out playing in it again at the moment, Brian has decided staying curled up on the sofa is a better option and I quite honestly agree. I'm off for a hot bath in a minute and an early night and maybe tomorrow might be a better day. (Sorry for the moan!)
