Blizzard of Ought-Thirteen

Winter storm Nemo was actually a non-event here at Blonde Bomber Acres. While some parts of the state ended up with over 30" of snow, we maaaaybe got 8", and most of that was blown away.

During:


After:


Really, the only difference is that you can't see as much poop.

The dogs had a blast in the snow but Miss Hattie was a huge brat. She was super impatient to be fed, whereas I was just enjoying being out in the beautiful snow. After she found out I wouldn't put up with her attention-getting ploys, she took it out on the dogs. Finch thought she was playing and delighted in teasing the cranky donkey.



Later that day (also my dad's birthday!) my friend Laura brought her stepkids over to meet the animals. While Hattie was minimally better behaved, she still demanded attention by bodily knocking into them and nipping at their clothes. Not acceptable! 

Here she is looking all cute with Gloria...but the second Gloria's attention wandered, it was back to Bratty Hattie.







Even though there were three other folks happy to pet her, she couldn't stand it when Tanner got any attention.


Hopefully this is just her adolescent phase and she will chill out a bit as she gets older. Even with her bratty behavior, the kids had a great time and we all survived Nemo.
