Big in the back

Got that door open. I finally worked my away around with a shovel to clear the path to opening our back door. Our cherished rescue mutt was certainly glad for another way out to the backyard.

Not that door, dear dog

Didn’t get back to clear there yet … It took a bit during the initial forces of the snow for me to get motivated to wind my way to the back deck and clear a path to that door. Until then, our cherished rescue mutt had to go out the side door instead. Here’s what…

Shed some light on her steps

Carefully. Our cherished rescue mutt stayed on the straight and narrow taking care of her morning business during this winter morning trip to our backyard, as her steps I discovered indicate.
