Hi Steph! I wrote back yesterday but it came back as undeliverable because I attached too many pictures. Sorry about the delay. I am uploading pictures to the group under Shaggy, so look for the pictures (and of course, everyone else feel free!).
We just recently started getting snow. We had that horrible storm in October (the "October Surprise" storm), I am going to upload pictures of it to the folder, you can see some of the devestation just in my neighborhood and street. It was "Arborgeddon". So sad. Hopefully the trees all over the City will come back. Honest, it was the scariest thing, huge tree limbs were falling and breaking because the leaves were still on the trees, you could hear them drop. One almost hit my neighbor's child as he got out of the house and I told him get back in the house one missed him by a minute I swear. We have three huge silver Maples in the backyard and one fell right over, thankfully next to the fence, and not on the house. Our backyard will have a substantial amount of sun now. We haven't had any snow all winter after the October storm until now. It must be the global warming, as even in Tucson and Texas they have gotten snow. Shaggy licked off the belly butter I put on his paws, so I stopped doing that. I guess I'll just try to put a little vaseline before we go out. I'll also put a picture of Shaggy with his haircut, too. It's hard to believe Maxie is 6 months old! They grow so fast. Shaggy had his 1 year birthday October 28th.
