[nagdu] Snow

Hi Tracey,

That's very cool.  Ben sounds like a great dog.  I live in Connecticut and
we had the same weather as you.  Now it is very cold and icy.  

Have a great holiday.

Ted

Hi Ted.
We have 4-5 inches of snow here, and piles from the plow and shovelling. 
Now it's turning to ice, since we had a little rain yesterday.  Gack!
Ben is doing very well.  I love having a dog in the snow!  He looks for the
easiest path through the piles at the corner, and, even though he's not a
large dog, he helps pull me up to step if I have to step extra high.
 He looks for the clearest path on the sidewalk.  Sometimes, if someone has
only made a narrow path, I have to walk behind him, instead of the usual
position, but he's fine with that.  Even where nothing's shovelled, he can
see where we want to go and aim for it.  I especially loved that in college.
Even if the walks were completely covered, Glade could see the door she knew
we wanted and head for it.

Yesterday afternoon, my sister and I went to see a Broadway musical. 
Afterwards, the crowds were insane!  People getting out of shows, or headed
out to dinner, or gawking at the lights.  Tourists stopping dead in the
middle of the crosswalk to take pictures!  Yo!  It's a sign!  It's a
building!  At least get out of the street before you stand and gape!
But Ben was fantastic!  Working his way through, finding the best way,
waving his long tail the whole time.  He did try to scarf a roll off the
ground, but I took it away and after that he was good.  And the way he
curled up at the theater, not sprawling into other people's space, or being
bothered by the noise.  I was very proud of my City boy.
Tracy
