tonight as I walked up the driveway the neighbour’s dog had his head over the fence barking at me… the fence is about six feet high but there is so much snow on the ground that he could look over and see me…

they’ve only had him for about six months and he’s certainly grown by leaps and bounds in that time… sadly he has learned to bark…

when I look out my bedroom window I can see into their backyard… it is filled with paths that the dog has made and tons of dog doodoo all over…

made me think of my grandsons and the job of cleaning up after their two dogs… doing the cleaning up on a regular basis has been difficult for both of the older boys as they have had the job…

then of course, there is so much to pick up that they get frustrated, or leave it till spring when it turns all soft and mushy… there are often tears when clean-up actually happens…

my backyard looks rather pristine… even with the bunny visiting on a regular basis…
