Ok...snow...cute for Christmas maybe...but after the holidays it is just too much to handle....it is not enough that , we never got our flu shots, because we weren't old enough or young enough...... by the time it reached our area...I already had the crude that has been on the move all around our area and never seems to completely go away........ just when we could actually see the ground we had a massive snow fall, and today the God's thought it might be fun to top it off with another 3 to 4 inches...the cherry on my day....our new pup , Omar, was just starting to go out to pee and poo...then the snow....this has now so confused him it is a crap shoot inside, as to where he will do his business....this morning he stood right in the middle of the living room on the oriental carpet and peed to my horror ............ this evening he pooed on the paper where he should have peed this morning...... that sent us into claps and rapture...how sad is that......he has become one of the family in record time..he is nuts... growing so fast.....I say too much too much protein....gruel..that will slow him down...lol..(only kidding)...he likes to empty the puppy chow on the floor , eat it then wander around with the bowl in his mouth like Oliver Twist looking for more...feeding him now ,is like trying to fill a bottomless pit.....he is a heat seeking missile to anything that has fallen on the floor , a living breathing Hoover, his favorite being Kleenex......Omar can jump up on anything , but once there, refuses to jump down...so he whines and one of us has to rescue him.....so we have to keep the bedroom and office closed as well as the studio until he gets it...can't be too soon for me...he is a sweet lovable dog , but with the snow and being couped up inside and the house in disarray....I am now nuts...or more nuts than usual.......... I have had a rash of Christmas stockings to paint.......I officially hate Santa! .....I am behind in work , hate all my work clothes that are faded , covered in paint and holes...what else...I just need to be able to take a walk in the nice warm Spring air without wearing so many clothes.......it is like being in Hell ,if Hell was cold and snowy..........not my time of year to sparkle..... I need more new socks....I bought all new socks a couple of months ago and they have been washed so many times they now look old....I just need some sun...I crave it...I am one of those people that need it.....but then I hate the real hot weather...so by and large I am happy with the weather maybe 4 to six weeks out of the year.......the above picture says it all ..it expresses my feelings completely...
you know you have had it when, the toilet paper reaches the dinning room and your official scent is Vick's Vapor rub........

Have you not heard of crating your little pooh pup? Immediately after eating, take him outside. If he doesn't perform, bring him in and crate him for half an hour and repeat. When he performs, give him lots of pets and nice words. Do not feed him a snack.
Another way is to put a leash on him and keep him with you at all times. This also means keeping a very close eye on him and when he changes his posture to a piddle/pooh stance, scoop him up and run outside.
I have trained three dogs with the crate method. My dogs love their crates and will go to it sleep, get away from kids, the vacuum cleaner, etc.
Vigilance is the key word here.
Loved your post! Can relate to all of it! Love our pets, but they can sometimes be a trial at the best of times and too much snow is NOT the best of times! Spring is just around the corner - keep that happy thought!
