It is snowing and blowing and it’s kinda a mess outside. And Mamaw committed herself to taking Ozzie out two times today—wonder if she’s sorry she did that? She got her big high top boots on and went out to shovel for me. Then I went out and “squatted” in my special area she prepared for me. She’s afraid I’ll freeze my watcha-ma-call it so she prepares an area. I squat so low—well after all; I don’t want it blowin all over for heaven’s sake!

We did some laundry—what’s new huh? And when we went to the basement to do the laundry, the heater had been left on since Sunday—oh, oh, watch that American Energy bill! And we are still finding stuff from our last Christmas to put away so that’s what we did mostly today.

She's still really mad at the gal from Office Max that screwed up her project and she worked on that today too. She tried to use the scanner and it isn’t workin right so she is a little more frustrated than usual. I’m stayin out of it that’s for sure.

When it was time to take Ozzie out at noon nobody had come to clean the driveway yet so Mamaw had to shovel—then put on her high-top boots and then trudge through the snow to get to Ozzie. He was very appreciative and just forgot ONE THING! He wanted to “climb the hill” to get to my house and Mamaw tried to accommodate him—only problem was; she slipped and fell! I was watched from the kitchen window and I cried out to her right away cause I could see her tryin to get up but it was a real struggle for her. Finally she managed to get in the house with Ozzie and she didn’t offer the treats right away as usual. She was wet on her behind all the way and needed to just sit and recover so we had to WAIT! We finally got our snaps—4 for Ozzie—2 for me.

Then she told Ozzie to lay down about a dozen times but he didn’t. He stayed by the kitchen door for a long time and she went to the office to work on her projects. When she came out to check, he was layin down so she went back to work. He stayed in our house until 2:30 so she’s stretchin out the time so he doesn’t have to be alone so long each day.

At 5:00 she went back to take him out again—and I got to go along. This time she made us stay right out front cause she didn’t want to fall again and I don’t blame her. She’s walkin like she hurt herself and I’m just a little worried about her. I need to talk to Poppy when he gets home and ask what he thinks about this whole fiasco. We didn’t stay out long this time—they were finally there to clean out the driveways and scoop our walks so we “did our thing” and took him home. I was glad to get home too…

Pizza for dinner and nothing goin on. They’ve finished watchin Taken and even loaned it to Kurt to watch. She almost required his signature IN BLOOD before she let it go.

Later to the waterbed until late. It was very hard for Mamaw to get out of the bed to take me to my kennel. She’s hurtin…I told her I could just stay there all night but she didn’t agree with that so…goodnight America.
