{Wow! I haven't been here (on blogger) for over a month... Craziness. Where did January go?}
It was one of those days when school was cancelled for blowing snow and 40 below temps.
The boys started out clothed but quickly ended up shirtless, strapping various weapons to their bodies for an epic battle--- 'The Chinese vs. The Dwarfs' --- completely their thing.
It was one of those days where I heard a crash in the next room and then a clear, "I am OK!" statement ring through the air.
It was one of those days where I did not shut the shop door just perfectly for Rex. Oh yeah, and when he was in our entry way sleeping, I might have accidently forgot about him and started the vacuum. Well, the combination of the shop door and the vacuum sent him spiraling into an Emotional. Melt. Down. Mess. Oh, he is so sensitive.
I tried to talk to him and explain the weather. "It's too cold out here for you. Go into the shop where it is warm," I'd try to gently coerce him. Rationalizing did not work. Not even bribery with dog treats and food. I was only trying to help him be warm and safe. But he was stubborn... refusing to leave the porch... All because I shut the frozen shop door too hard and started the vaccum.
Sorry buddy.
Apparently, he was perfectly fine laying on the porch, in sub zero temps. There was no moving our almost two hundred pound big baby... I tried.
