We are from NJ and are used to snow a few times a year. I find it funny that you guy's never get SNOW. I feel bad about your friend falling 3 x and getting hurt. My 2 little girls (Patty & Pebbles) both 3 years old this past Dec. don't even like to go outside to pee when it is raining let alone snowing. We put their winter coats on them in the morning before they even go out. By that time they have already gone to the bathroom on their puppy pads. They run out for about 1 min. and they are back in and under the electric throw on the couch. They are so spoiled. My mom is 72 and retired and with them all of the time, their every waking hour. They love there mommy. I am their sissy (sister). My husband and I have no children, they are our kids.
I purchased a rescue calander this year for my mom for Christmas. It was great. We have been thinking of taking in a rescue. Mom says don't look for one wait for one to come to us. My mom only want's a little girl that our girls can teach. I think they are at great age to take on a young sister . We only want a small little girl , our girls are very over weight but they only stand about 12" tall. I don't want to sound picky but we are willing to give a great home to a needy little girl.
o.K. Talk to ya soon, Marie (Patty & Pebbles), Paulsboro, NJ
