2026-01-25DOGS AND CROWS AND ICE

I have small dogs one of which has trouble with stairs. So I have a ramp attached to the stairs on which they can run up and down as needed.

This morning I let them out to do their morning business. They hit the ramp and had quite a surprised look on their faces when they hit the glare ice and slid all the way down. They went ahead and took care of business then tried to come back in out of the cold.

I wish I had taken the opportunity to grab my phone and video them trying to get up the ramp. Walking failed so they backed up and ran at it which also failed. So they backed WAY up and hit it a a full out run… The best they could do was make it about half way running as hard as they could while slipping on the ice.

After they tried a couple times I went ahead and carried them up the stairs to the deck so they could run inside where they ran back to a small space heater blowing warm air that we turn on for them for a while on cold mornings.

And we’ll be staying inside most of the day as well. No snow but glare ice covering everything.

I put food out for a local crow flock on a flat feeder raised up where squirrels can’t get to it. Even the crows were having a hard time. They landed on the feeder then slid right across it until they hit the raised edge. They quickly learned to land ON the raised edge and walk slowly towards the food in the middle.
