The temps are in the teens here and we've already got the snowiest December on record. Oh, hurrah! I was mean and set my 2x2s across the deer trail so now they have to walk around. I'd like to see them weave but I guess that's not to likely. <br /><br />Holiday greetings to TSD!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-64098583703553190012010-12-16T04:08:08.029-08:002010-12-16T04:08:08.029-08:00I have completely avoided all holiday decoration o...I have completely avoided all holiday decoration or preparation by being out of town for work. Hopefully the dogs are running in the snow of Indiana, while I sit in an airplane hanger in New Zealand waiting to go stand in the rain on a bridge for the next four hours. Glamorous I tell you glamorous. I hope my friends and family like the gift of gab because that's about all I'll be sharing this year. Thanks for all the Ruby updates. Hope she's feeling a bit better.marycloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949811934631534425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-9330418401386070512010-12-15T06:09:30.633-08:002010-12-15T06:09:30.633-08:00Wisconsin deer hunters are partial to duct tape in...Wisconsin deer hunters are partial to duct tape in blaze orange or with camo patterns. Or anything with a beer logo on it... except those brands commonly consumed with fruit shoved in the bottle.<br /><br />My pups have not seen outside agility since mid-October. Their contact is an 8' snow mountain in my front yard. Jumps, weave poles, and the tire are buried in a snow drift under the deck. <br /><br />California would be a welcome sight right now.

My stylish coat is of the Michelin school of style, such that the homeless guy outside of Starbucks called me sir.<br /><br />We stopped running outside two weeks ago, and my weave poles and jumps are frozen to the ground. I'd take CA right now!<br /><br />On the other hand my dogs love this weather. The puppy spends his outside time running frenetic loops that involve banking off the other dogs, barking, and running some more.Mister Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051158904257052963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-5324048738377509292010-12-14T13:13:53.635-08:002010-12-14T13:13:53.635-08:00Tie-dye duct tape is even better.

I have some holding the front of my car together now.<br /><br />Plus I agree with Mary that flashlights are great gifts. Those little LED ones that you can tuck anywhere. Get everyone 3 or 4, for their purse, pocket, glove compartment, dining room, bedroom, garage--perfect! (Mostly serious here, but maybe not 3 or 4.)Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-25099997782857516642010-12-14T12:03:55.567-08:002010-12-14T12:03:55.567-08:00And you can now find duct tape in tie-dye colors a...And you can now find duct tape in tie-dye colors at Target!!

We have it left over from hunting season when we strap deer carcasses to the hood.<br /><br />Make sure you put some duct tape in the cannibal apocalypse survival kits. You'll find a million uses for it! A set of the fancy-dancy dog agility fingerless mitts would be nice for your friends in areas where it's -22F this morning.KristineDnoreply@blogger.com
