Four Seasons Until 2000 I lived in the mid Atlantic, Pittsburgh and DC. I
get that the dogs like the snow, but when I want their opinion, I will give
it to them. The Corgies would burrow under the snow banks an pop up
with great abandon. The GSD's love to eat it and play with it. The Rottie
used to like to "help" me shovel the driveway by biting the snow as it fell
from my shovel. BUT I HATE SNOW. I hate wearing so many layers I can't
find myself, I hate taking 10 minutes to get dressed to walk the dogs or go
shopping. I hate having to dress warm to get into the car and then take an
extra cart to put the coats in so we can shop without overheating.
Sadly, global warming is making more and more of the country warm in the
winter all the time. But Miami is still the nicest warm spot I have
ever visited or lived in. sheila Jessica MacMillan spotted101@xxxxxxxxxxx>

anti-snow, pro-sun people! I live in Western WI, right along the St. Croix
River. The minute everyone hears that, they all groan "oh, its soo cold
there, etc".. Our last few years have been WIMPY WIMPY WIMPY!!! My friends in
NY have gotten more snow and more cold than we have. When we DO get snow,
my GSDs LOVE it. Simmie, who is 8 gets all wound up, and bolts through the
door to get out in to the first snow.. And there is nothing more fun than
making pathes and chasing a ball.... And the smells are sooo good. This will
be Pepper's first winter as a teenager and I cannot wait to see what she
does... When I was a little girl and lived in MN, we used to get REAL winter
- snow up to our shoulders, huge mounds to climb on, etc. I walked to grade
school (about a half mile) and there was nothing more fun than a fresh batch
of snow... Cold never bothered us - we were out until the stars were showing.
I remember it used to be really cold on New Years Ev
e and you could hear the wind howling, yet everyone would still be outside.
The Dalmatians LOVE snow too.. Only problem is they have figured out that if
the snow banks along mom's privacy fence, they can walk OVER the 6 foot tall
privacy fence. The best is when we had bitches in for breeding from the
warm climates.... They too loved snow - they always came with their thick
winter coats, not hair, but real coats, stretch, yawn, get out of the crate
and go crazy because the snow was so exciting. I personally love winter,
but wish it wasn't as long as it is :-) Jess Mac Paisley Dals

ct: Re: Snow or SUN Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 09:27:22 -0700 Our kids believe
it. THEY DID IT!!! Almost lost one for a moment in an under-snow
stream that had accumulated during the night with a Chinook wind that was
melting the snow underneath and we couldn't tell.....YIKES!! Grand Kids all
go up to snow board and ski in the same area.........so THEY BELIEVE IT!!
To make this dog related....the GSD coat is PERFECT in snow country as long
as it the correct harsh coat and not the soft coats we are starting to see.
Long coats are a nightmare as their coat and any soft or silky coat gets
balls of frozen snow on them and it is hard to get it to melt off. The
correct normal coats stay clean and dry in snow......two shakes and they are
dry .......and clean. Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.Marhaven.com

SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Not all bad or SUN Do you remember telling your kids how
you had to walk to school in knee deep snow and snow drifts that reached
your shoulders (as kids)? And then they'd respond: Yeah, right! Not believing
you for one minute. And that's exactly the way it was. We were wrapped up
right to the top of our heads in wooly stuff, snow boots and all. Once at
the school,get the outer layers off and then go into the classroom with
one wood burning stove in the room. Sitting in front of the class was an
honor as your feet would not get cold, the stove was close to the teacher's
desk. And the bathrooms were outside. You had better do your business fast
otherwise your hindy would freeze to the rim. Parents did not walk
you to school nor did they pick you up. But it always was a feast to come
home and have mom waiting with hot chocolate and co
okies. And the house warm and toasty. I remember my dad boasting of
having the first central heating in town. Those were the days! Lee

That goes for North Dakota too. I remember as a child building snow caves
out of the huge snow drifts and actually walking up on the frozen drifts
to the tops of houses. I wonder now how my Dad ever made it to work
every day.... To make it dog related, I had a Flat Coated Retriever who
used to trudge along with me sledding. When we would get home
I had to pick the ice chunks out of his coat and feet. I wouldn't even
want to VISIT North Dakota again..... Jamie
****************************************************************************
I am born and raised Californian and lived in snow Country in
"Sunny"California In the Tahoe / Donner area. We had icicles on our eaves
4 ft. long and I threw a ball every morning for the dogs to break a trail
through the snow to get up to the road so the kids could go through the
trail with 8 ft. high walls of snow to catch the school bus. We had
one dog that spent all winter burying those long icicles like bones! The
dogs ( GSD ) would play with the kids on the sleds and rode toboggans with
them and would lay curled up like Huskies out in the snow while the kids
played .....and as it snowed it would literally cover them up as they
waited for the kids to get through playing on the hill
with their sleds. Our kids wouldn't come in to warm up by the fire
until their hair sticking below their hats was frozen.... California has
it's share of freezing snowy winters......just not where Evan lives.
We left the snow Country in 1971.......can't say I miss it.....but we still
get a little snow here occasionally in the foothills of the snow Country
of California. It's not all beaches and convertibles as Evan says.

Oct 2007 12:29:11 -0400 I have to interject here with everybody praising
the sunny south that on the 31st of October up here in the frozen wastes of
the north country (Northern Ontario Canada) it is currently 66 degrees
Fahrenheit with a light South wind and the dogs are having a blast enjoying
the warm Fall weather. Our earthquakes are usually called rockbursts and only
happen in the nickel mines that fuel our economy(perhaps one every two
years). We don't have tornadoes, we have wi
nd shear that may take down an old barn but little else. Our forest fires
usually stay in the forests and our winters, while very cold, are also very
dry so that we can enjoy the snowmobile trails that lead to our back door
over the lake that has frozen perfectly for skating. Our snakes are not
poisonous and hibernate, our bears are hungry but hibernate and the wolves
have enough deer, rabbit and moose to keep them away from the house. On New
Year's Eve last year, we had a little frozen rain but not enough to even
warrant wearing my down parka out to the dance. Our big problem here is
boredom as the ratio of shows/trials goes down exponentially the further
north you come in winter so while we have the time to train, we no longer
have the deadline of a trial as incentive. Yeah, it gets cold and depressing
for a while but hey until the mosquitoes come out, we live in "God's Country"
and both the dogs and I wouldn't trade it for all the hurricanes,
tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, scorpions, rattlers and overpopulation
anywhere. Mary-Anne C C Mistral of Waldenridge CGN CD TD AGN TEC RN (Caro)

Subject: Re: Shake! Rattle and Roll!!! Ah - the bay area and earth quakes.
Tall frame houses do manage to shake and roll!! I remember 1 quake
while sitting in the office
at Wodin's. The kennel was located in the foothills, sitting several hundred
feet above the valley and with a view all the way to Oakland. I was on the
phone to someone in Palo Alto when I saw the side of the hill rolling at me
just like a wave on the ocean. It got to the office and the floor rose and
fell like a wave passing under me. I explained what I had just felt when a
few seconds later the person on the other side of the line felt it there.
Then there were those nice short shaky ones ranging betwen 5-5.5 that always
seemed to hit the Calavaras fault behind us and bounced everything. The dogs
would generally get really quiet, but you would never put 2 and 2 together
until after the quake. I always preferred the rolling quakes to the julting
ones. A few years after moving up here outside Portland, this area was
hit by a 5.5 quake. It was sort of funny watcing everyone like they had just
felt "The BIG ONE". Didn't Evan just wonde
r if the heat fromt he fires had lessened the stresses? Maybe just moved
north???? Ruth Bill Basu billgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Last night, i was
