The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for February 08, 2025

there should be at least a little yellow snow near the tree

A male dog for the tree; a female dog for the grass.

There is a shorter way to the tree!

Been there, doing that.

Used to do that for our dog. He loved being out in winter but was so small he got lost in the snow, so we dug out a circuit of paths around the yard hitting four different trees so he could go in a variety of directions and run till his little legs were too tired.

Had 2 outside cats and would make a path for them too.

Truth.

i make a bunch of paths to make him work for it

Perhaps a shrub next to the door, when you want expedite things while you’re wearing just a robe. Perhaps the dog will have mercy on you for a day and put off checking their messages on the tree down the block.

We used to call that “Blazer’s poopin’ path”.

I’d call this the path of leashed resistance.

That’s some dang precise shoveling LOL

I would think the path to the tree would be direct and then circle it!

Love it! Thanks for the laugh.

My St. Bernard plowed his own path.

just attach a bungee cord to their collar and throw them
