High centered...

It's amazing what 4" of snow and two white dogs can create. Friday morning we were greeted to snow, Carlee romped, jumped, ran and rolled while Buster was a close second getting high centered more than once. Fortunately the wet snow slid across the deck when pushed fitting neatly under the railing.

Buster. Safe and warm.

It wasn't until our return back to work did I call Buster more than once. No sound, just falling snow and no sign of my little white boy. Calling, calling and looking in his hiding places. My heart began to pound, he couldn't possibly get out of the fence until I saw a glimpse of his red collar. I ran to the walk out, he was high centered and covered with snow. It was a few short minutes, he must have thought wasn't someone coming to find him. My heart sunk, I scooped him up, no sound he looked into my eyes." I'm here buddy" and got him in the house. He was shivering, grabbed our cleanup towel and wrapped him up in a blanket holding him slightly tighter than usual. Quick prayer indeed. Slow down, we're moving to fast, we have to make good things last. So I tweeked that a bit, today, we catch up on play time, nap time, outside and hug time. I look at my family, both rest nearby as always. Priceless.

Keep an eye on your kids, your neighbors kids and any kid that needs your help. Volunteer, get involved, help where you can, make a phone call if that is all it takes.

Take care friends, stay safe and warm.
