Hmmm... a nickname of Snorkie and you live in Illinois.
Any relation to Al Capone?

I didn't know Snorkie was connected with Capone. It's just a various of a nickname my husband came up with. Learn something new everyday, I guess!

Omigosh!!!!! It's 11 right now but the wind chill is -11. We're in the middle of a literal blizzard. It started in the middle of the night and is supposed to go until 10 am. tomorrow a.m. I know we've gotten at a minimum of 5 more inches today. Most of it is blowing. White out conditions. Not a great time for a "potty" training puppy with diarrhea!!!! GEEZ!

Oh my, I am so sorry. I can't imagine having a puppy in this weather. Did you have to shovel a path so your puppy could go out? My dogs are having a rough time walking around out there.

It is really spelled snorky. It's an old term meaning a sharp dresser and Capone liked that nickname. (Nobody ever called him "Scarface" to his face).

Yeah...WE needed a path but just standing outside is miserable right now. I feel bad for Trooper but I'm starting to get grumpy. Thankfully my boys seem to be almost immune to the cold and WANT to go outside so they've taken him a few times. Blahhh

So I spoke to soon. It is now cold (for us anyway). The high today is 48 ~ I know still warmer than all of you.
Stay warm and tummy stress free!

We are freezing on the east side of Michigan too! It was zero yesterday with a wind chill of -15. We had snow on Wednesday last week, no school, then on Friday we had 5 inches of snow with freezing rain mixed in. We had a crystal wonderland. No school again! I don't want to use all of our days just yet. I like to save them for the boring months of Jan, Feb and March. I hate the cold! We are suppose to get more snow on Christmas Eve as well.

We bought a snowblower this week. We bit the bullet. And ouch...but I know it'll be worth it. DH, my oldest son and I all have bad backs and have been miserable in the winters so, we got one. DH was so pleased that he did 3 neighbors driveways as well! I know we'll get our money's worth. We'll have at least 3 more months of snow! Happy camper here. Only thing that could be better would be...NO SNOW! Of course, that's not happening in Michigan! 
P.S. We only had one snow day...on Friday.

Yeah! That will make things so much easier. We have a riding lawn mower that has a blade on it. Hubby doesn't think it is very fast and is talking about buying a snowblower. I told him at least he doesn't have to shovel!!!
