Let It Snow

We're snowed in. Even if I could get the vehicles out of the driveway, the roads are no better than our driveway. Dad walked the 2 blocks to my house to take my golden retriever for a walk around the neighborhood with his lab. The dogs enjoyed romping around, playing in the snow. Down the street, a young guy was pulling his 18 month old son on a plastic sled. The little boy was obviously enjoying the ride. Dad got a bright idea and told him that we could give him a real treat by hooking the sled up to one of our dogs. The guy thought for a moment and said, "well, I've got my own dog, thanks for the idea.... "

LOL...

Dad continued his walk with the dogs around the neighborhood. A few minutes later, he spotted the kid on the sled again. The sled was now being pulled by their big dog about a block away. The toddler was having fun being pulled at a leisurely 2-3mph. Their dog took one look at our dogs, and decided to be neighborly and run over to say hello. I guess flying down the road was a bit much for the kid, and he hollered a bit as he hung on for dear life. I think he might have been tied to the sled to have not fallen off. His dad couldn't keep up with him as he ran a few feet, then a few yards, then a few miles, behind the dog/kid/sled. Good thing the baby's mama wasn't watching...his dad would have been in so much trouble.
