Hi everyone!

Boy, it's really been awhile since I've been able to get the computer to myself! Today, my mom woke me up from a nap in my favorite chair to go play in the snow. Yipee! But first, I had to sit in her lap like a big baby and get my boots on and my "Woof!" hoodie. Now, lotsa people laugh about dogs in boots, but I gotta tell you, you really need them in NYC. There's lots of nasty salt and de-icer tossed on the sidewalks in front of big buildings. And that can crack our poor paws. The de-icer is even worse, because it heats up to melt the ice and that burns my paws - and then when I lick my paws to cool them off, it gets into my stomach and I get a bad tummyache. Not good. There is salt/de-icer that is pet and children-friendly. If your people need to use it, ask them to get this kind. (You can find it online.)

Okay, so once I had all my silly clothes on, we went over to the playground and I got to run, run, run after my favorite green rubber ball. There were some kids playing there and they'd throw the ball for me, too. This was the first real snow we've had all winter and it was so much fun. It's still snowing now, so I'm taking a big nap in my favorite chair so I'll be ready to go out later with my pal Bear.

Snowballs to all my pals!

Your pal,

Petey
