First Winter Storm of 2008

"Bunny Ears"


Well the first winter storm of 2008 has arrived and just shy of Cooper being 8 months old. Needless to say he was a little leery. He woke up this morning to go outside and as soon as hit the carport he was made aware of the "disaster" that had struck his home place and his normal morning marking spot. After showing some signs of cowering and defeat he ventured off into the winter wonderland to make his morning donation and after a little investigating, he uncovered the earth that he is all to familiar with and realized that the "disaster area" was only a few inches deep and proceeded with his normal routine.

Later in the day, he ventured out yet again to determine the extent of the disaster and to determine how widespread the effects would be felt. It appeared that his second inspection revealed an unknown side effect from his first encounter, cold. He was so overwhelmed earlier with the sight of the catastrophe that had occurred while he was sleeping, he neglected to notice the effects of prolonged snow exposure, bunny ears! So in order to prepare for future disasters, his mother consulted with his aunt Jenny. Her response was immediate: " LL Bean him up." So for future explorations, Cooper will be prepared and equipped with the required protection to further avoid "bunny ears".
