Still have 8 more days to go, snow may happen yet Vik

Eventually there's always snow...

Yeah, in Germany usually too late.
Most of our snow appears in Jan and Feb :(

We've got about 6 inches of snow here, you can have some if you want it!

Whatever happened to Bean is a mystery- she's not talking, but it was a clean cut through the skin layer, but not into the muscle, no bleeding. Probably a stray claw- she plays like a crazy dog sometimes.

You'll probably get your snow soon vik. We usually don't have snow this early either, and I have a bad feeling on how this winter is shaping up. A lot of those "old koots" that I laughed at as kids say that the fuzzy caterpillars are showing it will be a harsh winter and all the deer and horses have grown thicker coats than in recent years. Not to mention how their knees hurt (but in summertime they hurt because of the heat, spring it hurts cause of storms, and fall it's because of a chill , I think their knees just hurt).

Poor bean, well as long as the sweater came second otherwise I'd say you might have a case of bullying

well...the past years we had packed ice on the streets...so then like Klaus stated we had quite enough of ice and snow... weather just doesn´t know what it is supposed to do according to scenic... around Christmas everyone wants snow...but not the coldness^^

Snow?....Snow?... Hmmmmmm that's like white grass or something isn't it? I dunno i've heard of it but I can't be bothered driving to see it! :-)

It snowed steady for two days here,it seemed warmer while it was snowing, but the wind before and after the snow is a killer.

It's strange how that always seems the case...

In case anyone was wondering about the UK, it's raining... as usual...

That's just the default setting here though....

And I'm not buying Dave's excuse for bean being multi-coloured. I think he missed his workshop so much he took his spray-gun to the poor little doggy

Haha! Yeah YOU try masking that Argyle pattern on that wriggly dog!

May have caught herself on a sharp object that needs to be removed from doggy play area.

She's not an Emo is she Dave?

Haha no, not a cutter

Ah good, good just checkin' bro.....

She does seem jealous of our opposable thumbs though..some angst there for sure

Easily understandable! could i be correct in assuming she sometimes takes out some angst against those very opposable thumbs we speak? good lord she'd dye herself black if she saw a monkey's prehensile tail!

Yes she does!

She just plays rough, you can see she has neck muscles like a Cardassian! (no not a Kardashian) I'm sure whatever happened to her was an accident. She's mostly healed up, it just itches her now.

Has she been by the warp recently, it could be a mutation , you might soon be the father of our new breed of evil juju bean overlords .

If by "Warp" you mean the electric throw blanket on the couch then yeah We've had to clean the wound and give her a clean sweater everyday to keep the nurgle away

I wonder if her natural instinct to lick her wounds wouldn't have been the right thing to be done ...wasn't there some stuff in that slobber of hers that's disinfectant?

Yea, but we can't take the chance of her biting the staples out. The vet suggested a sweater, since it's right in the middle of her side where she can get her head to

Ah, I see... Poor puppy...(sounds ridiculous but is honest)

Naa she's fine. Dogs have skin that is separate from the muscle (because they can't sweat) it only cut through the skin (tis merely a flesh wound)

Dogs mouths might be cleaned than humans, but we know other places dogs lick that aren't too clean . Did the vet giv you the choice between the sweater and the cone

Dave's still 'decorating' the cone

Yes, basically staples and sweater, or stitches and a cone

beany is a toughy it seems...

Sounds like a good chance for her to join into the whole Christmas thing though.

The sweater I picked out for her has a big skull and crossbones on it
