How long is he willing to hold it?

After surveying the scene at the front door …

… the back door …

… and the garage door …

… Ace came to the conclusion that it sucks being a North Dakota dog on Prednisone in the winter, and that indoor grass for dogs doesn’t sound like such a bad idea after all.

    Poor Ace! I really feel for you. You should seriously take my advice…SoCal is the place to be!

    Ace, you definitely have my sympathies!!! I too have a big snow drift by the front door. I went out to shovel it for a while and took Jake with me. Jake decided to try climbing over the big snow pile and got himself stuck. It was funny watching him try to “swim” out of the snow. Ever since I rescued him out of the snow and put him back into the house he has refused to go back outside. I think it is going to be a long winter.

    I bet Foofur and Boris would love to trade places with you! We rarely have snow here, and never that much. :)

    Whoa!! That is a LOT of snow!! And so cold! I was fussing about the cold here in CO today (it is -16 this morning) but we don’t have anything like this amount of snow!! Yikes!! Stay safe and warm!

    Oh my gosh…I want snow but I could live with less than that. :) We got a dusting and the dogs were in HEAVEN. I actually think at least two of our dogs would love that much snow. They are, after all, snow dogs.

    By the way…I gave you an award on my other blog – http://www.castocreationsjewelry.blogspot.com … =)

    Oh Ace, that looks like a lot of FUN!!! And it’s such great exercise! This is what I had last winter, not quite a North Dakota blizzard, but still pretty fun:

    By the way, I like how you asked how long is he WILLING to hold it, vs. ABLE to hold it. They are very different numbers for Biggie of the Basketball Bladder.

    So just to make you all laugh, it is about 55 degrees and raining in Los Angeles today and we are all bundled up like there is a blizzard outside. Everyone (me included) is complaining about it. I shared your pics with some colleagues and they said they’ll stop complaining…for about 5 minutes!

    OMG look at all that snow! And I though Ohio winters suck! Poor Ace, That indoor grass doesnt sound like too bad of an idea even with out the prednisone!
