Ice

I just came inside from the snow, and my pants are still wet. It is at LEAST 7 inches in our yard out there.
And everyone knows i live right by a pond right? (Well, if you didnt, now you do.) Anyways, we let Jenny out in the front yard for a while to play in the snow. She decided to run crazily, and went over by the playground.
By that time Mom wanted me to get the leash and collar because more people with more dogs were coming outside. so i run to the house and get Norm to get the stuff, and Im just waitin in the garage. Well then Norm comes out and we see Tyler sprinting up the hill toward us and yelling "DAD! DAD!"
He tells us Jenny fell in the ice, and hasnt come out yet. We ALL start running by then and its very difficult you know, to sprint in foot deep snow. I almost fell like 3 times going down the hill. We finally get to the pond and Mom and the neighbor and Madi and Jenny are all in the pond. Theres a thin layer of ice over the whole thing. Madi is the only one who hasnt fallen through, shes too light. Shes kind of standing on top of it. Mom and Jenny and the neighbor are in the reeds, at the waters edge. The water is up to Moms hip. It looks very cold. Theyre trying to pull Jenny out.
We get to the waters edge and i help mom get out of the snow. Norm grabs Jenny and puts the collar and leash on. We all walk back to the house and I turn on a tub of warm water and we all put our feet in it and it HURTS bc my feet were SOOO numb and frozen.

So that was our adventure. What was yours?

  3. It was certainly an adventure. Enough adventure to last all year. But I had to save poor Jenny Dog!! I couldn't let her drown. So I saved the day!! Super Mom (or Stupid Mom, to jump in the frozen water). Oh well, we made it out and did not lose any toes.
