Spent the day taking M.E. (my dog), outside about every 10 min. She has never seen snow (Portland, OR). All day she kept at me with her little (I need to go out crys), but all she wanted to do when she got out was play. I told her I would leave her for the birds (I wanted to quilt), but she just ran and jumped (all 7 lbs of her). With all the quilting I had to do, I had to keep going outside with her because she was enjoying herself so very much. So much for playing with my machine today
