I BETCHA BIG BARKY WAS IN BIG TROUBLE WHEN HE GOT HOME

 THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE OUTSIDE OUR LIVING ROOM WINDOW FIRST THING THIS MORNING

 OUR FRONT PORCH

Somehow, between thunder and rain, the big winter storm missed us in the night but caught up with us this morning with a moderate snowfall and high winds blowing the snow around.  A Jeep ride into Bayfield and back with a few drive-by photos along the way and that was about it.  Oh, we went by 'Big Barky's house but I didn't see Big Barky come flying out the lane to bark at us......well, not until about an eighth of a mile down the country road when there he was running along by my driver's door.  We were only going about 20 mph and he kept running in front of us so I had to slow down and stop several times.  Every time I edged forward he ran right in front of the Jeep as if he was trying to herd us back up the road to his place.  I soon saw a car coming up fast behind us so I pulled over and stopped.  The car pulled up behind me and Big Barky's Mom came racing out of the car to get him.  In the meantime, Big Barky had run around to the passenger side of the Jeep and jumped up to give Pheebs a big smooch.  I did catch a blurry photo a split second after they touched noses.  Big Barky's Mom got him by the collar, and quickly led him back to her car.  I betcha Big Barky was in big trouble when he got home.  And that folks, was the excitement for the day...................   

 THE ONLY PEOPLE WE SAW OUT ON THIS COLD BLUSTERY  MORNING WERE BAYFIELD FOLKS WALKING THEIR DOGS

 LITTLE DID I KNOW WHEN I TOOK THIS SNOWY ROAD PHOTO THAT BIG BARKY WAS IN HOT PURSUIT

 I MISSED THEIR NOSES TOUCHING BY A SPLIT SECOND

 AND THERE'S BIG BARKY'S MOM TAKING HIM BACK TO THE CAR
