Picture It

Picture it, post blizzard 2011, snow drifts every where, short dogs trying to make trails.

Enter the Shih Szu named Skittles. Background: Skittles is a few bricks short of a full load, but the kid loves him. Skittles attempts to make his way in the same fashion as the Cardis, the Pembroke and the Bearded Collie mix. Needless to say he got himself stuck in a massive drift.

The Cardis, Pembroke and Bearded Collie mix had long since headed for the house when it became clear that Skittles was hopelessly mired. At this point, I am thinking that I am going to have to get dressed--snow pants, boots, mittens and the works to get this fool dog.

At about this point I hear Duchess, the Pembroke leading the charge, followed by Music, the Cardigan and Angel the Bearded. Duchess immediately organizes a rescue crew. Angel is set to trampling down snow while Music is enlisted to push Skittles. Of course, Duchess' role was to bark orders and directives the entire time. But within a minute the 3 heroes had our bedraggled victim unstuck and moving toward the house.
