the snow is back
Feb 24th, 2010 by max
I thought it was getting nearer Spring with signs of little flower things poking through the ground, but it seems it is very much still winter. Yesterday it hailed on my afternoon walk (a particularly noisy hailstorm I must say) and today we awoke to snow!
It was quite pretty actually when Hilary and I trudged round the streets at 6.30 this morning - we were the first ones out in it and made a lovely trail of paw prints! The park looked very white and Hilary said it was light enough with the snow for me to be let of my lead for a play!
But by tonight’s walk the snow was wet and more like slush, and it was very slidey in places. Hilary nearly slid a couple of times and that was nothing to do with me pulling her (for once!) The park was virtually deserted tonight and there was only one dog (Sam I think) and his human out braving the wintry weather. Hilary and I both got soaked and I had to be thoroughly dried off by my male human on return!

I am really glad I am a cat and not a dog and I do not have to go out for walks in this absolutely terrible weather. I sat in the doorway this morning and decided I would go no further. I even got a bit wet just doing that.
However it has given me plenty of time to read my copy of the Scotsman. I wonder if you saw the picture of a splendid black labrador called Treo. He has been awarded a medal for bravery. He had been sniffing out bombs in Afghanistan and helping to save lives. It said his medal was an ‘Animal VC’. My humans thought he looked like Mole. I wonder if Mole would have been brave like that.
