Today is Ted's Birthday. I can't even begin to count all the ways I miss him. I look at Danny and he probably doesn't remember him. Ted was here such a short time with Danny. Ted really loved his little dog. I'm glad Danny gave him comfort.
The glare from the snow and the sun made my transitional lenses turn coal black. Usually, they are a smoky gray. I was amazed.
The roads were treacherous this morning. The roads were plowed out yesterday but a covering of hard pack snow remained. With cars running over it and maybe they salted and had some melting going on yesterday but it was too cold for salt to do any good this morning. The roads had turned to ice. Some people had shoveled their walks but others had not. I had to climb in and out over the snow bank, carrying Danny to go from the sidewalk to the road. I had to abandon the road when a car came; as I was afraid they would hit their brakes and go spinning into me or Danny. I did take a fall while carrying Danny. I fell on my butt but Danny was OK. I was not a happy camper with people who did not clear their walks. Some places, I had to use my footfalls to pack down the snow for Danny to follow me through the drifts.
I gave him his bath after our walk this morning. He tolerates it but he doesn't like it. He likes the dryer and being rubbed with the towel. He rubs his face in it. He likes being dry. When I come in from walking him in the snow, he puts his paws out one at a time for me to dry them.
About half the snow had either melted or evaporated by this afternoon. Although it didn’t get above 20, the snow seemed to have disappeared. Where I had shoved, the walk and driveway were dry.
