Hey Everyone,
Rude Ranch survived SNOWMAGEDDON!
The first picture pretty much says it all…. To explain: the black thing in the front of the picture is the shutter that blew off of the house. The black thing barely sticking out of the snow on the right side (in the back ground) of the picture is the rear view mirror on the MR 2. (Don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon) The dog in the foreground is Ceasar the border collie. He is totally disgusted because he can’t get to his favorite potty spot. He has decided to use the trash can in the living room instead. The dog behind him is Scruffy. (you can barely see Scruf’s head) As usual, he is just confused. The big guy is Bob. He’s just wondering why everyone is thinking it’s cold.
The second pic is Bruno during the storm. He is pretty much the only one enjoying the storm.
Otherwise, the worse happened: I ran out of hot fudge sauce. Had to try a new recipe to make more. Enjoyed it while watching The Who during the Superbowl.
Surprisingly, the power and cable stayed on. Sweetie was going insane without being able to run to burn off energy. The dogs would get all excited about going out the garage door, than when we opened it and they saw a 2 1/2 foot wall of white they just looked confused. Bob’s dentist office called (on a Sunday!!!!) and cancelled his appointment for Monday. Don’t think we will see anyone tomorrow either. (although I will ran out of ice cream last night, this could be bad) Will probably start writing spring newsletter tomorrow after scooping. (Either that or the annual report, but I figure we should probably wait to see if we survive the audit first) Bob and Jay (the guy next door) tackled a the driveway. I am proud to say that I was the first one to wipe out in it.
The two critical care cats that we took in for other people are also doing well, although the cat that was almost a double amputee did rip out some of her sutures and the surgical drain. A part of the dog run collapsed under the snow, but other than that everything is still standing.
On the craft side, I did get almost a whole kitten finished on my cross stitch project, no knitting and almost finished a book. Hope, Felix, Marilyn, Ghost, Maggie and Buffy have been carefully supervising. (Couldn’t get to the knitting, Lenny was sleeping on it.)
