Avalanche nearly killed our pointer!!

[CAYLA]

The snow here is horrendous, and OH said pointer who lets himslef in and out

........via opening the back door and he can even close the frigger on his way back in........OH hears a scream, and looked out to see pointer half burried in snow......he must have jumpd to the side of conservatorey door(which prob saved him being crushed) as the whole roof had avalanched onto the back patio when he must have been on his way back in

Back door is now bolted.............if that had been my little whippey

I can laugh

cos he is alive, but would have been rather tragic had it crushed him

come home from work today and took a look, the snow comes up to my thigh

, the dogs are climbing a mountain to get into the garden......good job we can get throught the garage

Could not get on my drive, had to dig my way in this am......apparently it's going to be falling heavy this afternoon too.

Sounds like he had a lucky escape, don't for a minute suppose it will stop him from opening door though

Sounds pretty horrendous up with you, we have snow but not a huge amount and the dogs are loving it.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Blimey you have got a lot of snow!!

Lucky daft mutt!!

As MM says doubt it will stop him from doing it again.......

Take care in that snow and put the fire on for your poor doggies.......

 

[Spudlet]

Eeek!

If you can knock the snow off any low roofs safely maybe that would be an idea, it must weigh a ton

 

[CorvusCorax]

Glad he is OK.

I found N once in the garage lying spreadeagled with the tumbledrier on her.
No idea how it happened and thank goodness, she was OK too.

Just a wee while ago we heard an almighty crash out the back garden. A HUGE clump of icicles crashed to the ground -- and I was just really REALLY glad my dogs weren't out!

CAYLA - the snow is horrible. I am snowed in. AGAIN. The snow in the garden goes well above my border terriers head so when he is out we have to look for his little tail sticking out from above the snow!

My dad has just started clearing the icicles from the house, my OH found it hilarious yesterday when he found one that was bigger than me (I am only a teeny 5'1).

We are forcast this all week. yay.

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Wow what a close call! Our snow is bad enough, about knee deep, so no going to work for me

(I have to use my holiday if I cant get in, what a waste

) but I just took the dogs out and even Islay was racing around in the snow, it comes up to the tops of their legs

 

[KarynK]

Getting like that here got a good foot ! You'll have to start screaming loudly outside the back door now and again to trigger it!!!

Sis is moaning it's too wet ATM to get the proper sled out for the huskies!

 

[Blythebeck]

My pointer opens doors as well, just can't train him to close them yet. lol. close call though
