We were supposed to be going to Salt Lake today to train with the dogs, but those plans have changed now! We got up to 9 inches of snow this morning and it’s still coming down. I think this might be the most snow we’ve had from one storm all year. Bleh! Just when everything had melted and the mud had dried out so we could play outside again, here we’ve got another batch of snow. LOL (Glad I resisted the urge to haul the agility equipment back out into the field)

I guess this just means that we’ll get another chance to take more pictures of the dogs playing in the snow this year. But for now, we’re staying in where it’s warm and watching from the window.

Here’s what it looks like outside at our place.

My husband and I have owned and operated our own business in the past, so I know that self-employment is usually a matter of feast or famine when it comes to money and spare time. Having more time at home with my dogs was the main reason that I decided to open the boarding kennel last year. The problem is that when I have spare time, it’s because the kennel isn’t busy, and when I actually have money, my time is gone. Sure wish there was a way to coordinate the two better, but I don’t think there is. LOL Hindsight is 20/20.

In the meantime, November and December are probably the two of our busiest months for boarding dogs because people are traveling for the holidays. So, that’s good, but now I’m ready for things to slow back down a bit. I’m pretty tired of spending hours chiseling poop out of the snow, and then even worse is trying to chisel it out of the ice that we’ve had when the snow melted down and then refroze. It’s really a chore, and I personally can’t wait for warmer weather and easier clean up around here. On the other hand, I’m grateful that business was good this year, and it looks like it’s definitely picked up from last years baseline.
