OK so there’s a slight rise from the back yard to the front of the house. The snow has melted but left a layer of ice that is now wet with the rain. Louie and I slid down and through the gate going in but managed to stay on our feet. Hmmm how are we going to get back?????
Louie went out first, couldn’t get a grip and slid back through the gate. After two tries, I tried to get ahead of him so I could pull him up. I slid back down through the gate…. Managed to get through and tried to pull Louie up. He slid back down on his bum through the gate and his collar came off. I braced myself against the gate post and a tree, got his collar back on and tried to push him through. Slid back down on his bum again. Finally managed to push him through and onto a clear area. Ended up with one miserable dog with very muddy feet and a muddy bum.
Oh the joys of winter.
