SWMBO claims I have way too much fun blowing snow in our back yard but puppy only has short legs. Year ago last December, we got a heavy snow late in the day and overnight to the point there was a column of snow two feet high on the garbage can. When I pushed the aluminium storm door open next morning, puppy stepped off the threshold and did her business on the spot. It only takes a few minutes to clear the area for puppy plus a path to the compost bin and one to the shed after I finish the 16 x 70' driveway and a path for the postal person to get to the route drop box near my drive. Did anyone get the impression I enjoy winter? Gerry :-)} London, Canada
