Here I am in the SOUTH at the BEACH (temporarily at my daughter's rental while they are renovating mine) and I woke up to 27 degrees and the outside deck/railings/floor/o covered in a layer of snow with ice on top!!!
What??? I had nothing to break the ice, no shovel, nothing. I couldn't even hold on to the railings all covered in ice. Totally unprepared. And the dogs needed to go outside and down the stairs to go the the bathroom.
I tried to tell them it was okay to go on the deck (ick, last resort) but they were so confused after being taught that was a no-no. So they refused. The ice was like glass and super slippery. It wasn't safe for any of us. And then....
light bulb moment...haha,
The gray one on the first 3 steps is a very heavy thick blanket for when dogs are afraid of lightning to give them comfort. Turns out they aren't afraid of lightning and it's too heavy for their liking. So they just use it to lay on.
