Doggie diary: The ballad of Rosie and Sophie Long night’s journey into a day

It's cold and the snow is just beginning to fall and I'm standing outside with two puppies who just want to eat sticks and stones.

I do this every night, but something about tonight is a bit creepy — random sounds of creeking trees and a scared squirrel scuramming across the shed roof.

I can see the snow move across the light from the deck and all I can think is, “I hope the weathermen are wrong about a foot of snow.”
