Ah. I understand part 1

Snoppy, uh, I mean Belle sits on top of her kennel when she can climb up on it. (she's still pretty small and it and the floor are pretty slipery. I didn't witness how she got onto it.. but I think it was the running start and crashing when it was against the wall. In the middle of the floor it's running start and crashing on the floor or side of the kennel as it slides..)

I'd post the picture of it once I find where my camera walked off to with JM..

Today we're going to try to drive to the mountains to see/play in the snow. After 2 days of rain here, you can SEE the mountains and they have SNOW on top of them. It rained below 3000 or 4000 feet and the rest of us had 50 degree rain.

HOW cool is that?!

But the secret is out about how cool things are here- leads to my gripe about traffic.. millions have flocked to live here in paradise :-)


PS. did you know it's "required" to have tires on your chains when you drive into the mountains? I assume where we're going the Excursion will be just fine. Much like the news coverage of snow in VA the reporters interviewed the lines of native San Diegans in ditches spun out along the road They drove to check out the sight of snow but don't know how to drive in the white beauty.. then it cuts to the Highway Patrol guy who tells them to stay off the road and that it's required to have chains on their tires. wow. Chains were never required in New England. They'd have been helpful, I'm sure where our family lived in VT in my pre-driving days.. and there were a few times I wish I had more traction the year I lived in NH, but that what the bag of kitty litter in the trunk was for.. but chains? THAT was for the people who lived off the paved road-- WAYY off..
so.. I'll let you know how bad it is or if it's just because people here drive like maniacs. (I'm betting it's the maniac factor...)
