> Sandy works part time answering calls and making appointments for a mobile

> our deck so the dogs had a path to get into the backyard.  I shoveled all 
> the steps off and then shoveled a wide area of free space at the base of 
> the steps because the snow was too deep for all of our dogs.  After 
> letting them all back in one day, Sandy called me to come and find Zippy. 
> He was a dachshund and not very big.  He had worked his way into the 
> deeper snow piles up and gotten stuck under the steps so I had to go and 
> fish him out.  Fortunately, this winter storm of 32 inches was in mid 
> April and the next day it was 50 degrees and the snow melted by the end of 
> the week.
