Where's the Snow?

All week there's been snow in the air yet none of it has settled, it's been a lot of years since we last had any decent snowfall here in the South of England

On the rare occasion it does decide to snow then disappointingly it quickly goes slushy, then just like that it's gone a few hours later

The last time we had any real snow here was way back in 2013 when we still had our beloved Badger Boo

We had so much fun and the snow was here for about a week to 10 days, the whole of the South of England completly ground to a halt, there just wasn't enough grit for the roads and a lot of people had absolutely no idea how to drive in icy conditions

My job with the MOD back then meant that not going to work just wasn't an option because of the weather, accommodation was laid on for those of us that lived further than walking distance away, plus I had no problems driving in the snow so was able to drive to and from work each shift

Do you ever get any decent snow where you live ?

I just can't resist spoiling Boris whenever we go to the vets, last week he spotted this really cute soft Penguin, I just had to buy it for him as it was just too adorable not too and yes he is in the front footwell

On the days when Boris is feeling painful and if I can't lift him due to my own pain levels, Boris has to travel in the front footwell of the car with the airbag turned off, it's not ideal but Boris loves to travel there all curled up on his blanket where he can also nudge my hand for a stroke when we're stopped at the traffic lights, rather than me causing him more pain by struggling to lift him and doing it badly, we're currently in the process of saving up to buy Boris a ramp for easy access into the boot of the car

On a recent walk I just couldn't resist letting Boris off lead to play in a large muddy puddle, he had much fun bog snorkeling and leopard crawling through it before deciding to lay down to rest for a while

We're very lucky that it's mostly sand in this area, so no matter how mucky the boys get most of the mud just falls out of their coats whilst they're drying off after a quick dip in the pond at the end of our walk

It's the simple pleasures in life we let Boris enjoy because he's still having so much restricted exercise, otherwise life would be just so boring and not much fun for him, if there's one thing guaranteed to make Boris happy and bring him joy it's a muddy puddle and the muckier the better
