[nagdu] Snow storm!

One time when we had had lots of snow Fisher wouldn't go find an opening in
the snow drift, and it was too big to go over, headed for the street. We
walked on and on, then I turned around to get him to go back. He still
wouldn't cross and a lady gave me a ride home.

The only thing that gets frustrating is that holly sees snow drifts as
obstructions and she stops for them all! I have tried to teach her that we
can just go threw them but, she don't buy that!

Yes, the Golden Guy definitely gets confused by the snowballs that disappear
when they land. Here, it's cold enough that the snow is frozen solid, so the
snowballs are still intact for the most part.
Then he'll chase after them and devour them.
He also tries to smash them while I'm putting them together for him. Lol!

The Golden Guy loves digging in the woods at the base of trees, and I have a
sandbox just for him in the backyard, obviously inaccessible at the moment.
