Snowpocalypse 2.0

Tomorrow will likely bring shoveling while Baltimore digs itself out of this mess. In the meantime, we are very much snowed in, a term I will no longer use casually! It was a great chance for me to catch up on client e-mails, editing, and most importantly, take advantage of my dogs for a photo opportunity.

Meet Zoey. She is our four and a half year old cockapoo who behaves much like an angry teenager. She is really just biding her time with us until she saves up enough money to catch the next bus out of here. Of course, we are pretty much the Meanest Dog-Parents in history because we expect her to do things like move over so we can sit next to her on the couch, go on walks, and eat out of a dog dish (don't ask - I really don't have an explanation). So today in the midst of Snowpocalypse 2.0, I found Zoey sitting at the door, wanting to go outside. After an hour of watching her sit at the door and look back at me, all "Seriously Mom, there's a bus out there with my name on it. All the other kids are going," I finally caved and let her out. She lasted about 15 seconds, only putting 3 feet down in the snow at a time, before she turned around and made a beeline for the house.

Of course, I wouldn't be the Mean Dog-mom she thinks I am unless I took advantage of this torture as a photo opportunity. Enjoy!

Note: No animals were harmed during the taking of these photographs. As much as Zoey might have you believe otherwise.
