Our Long Cold Snowy Saturday

These are Amy's keys. Sure they look innocent but yesterday they caused a whole world of trouble.

As predicted by all of the weather forecasters, it snowed! Around 2 in the afternoon Amy, David and I went out to play in the snow. They let me loose on top of a hill in the park and I was running around like crazy. David wanted to take some video of me so he got Amy's keys and went back to the house to get his video camera. After about half an hour they were ready to go back home. Well, as it turns out, while we were running around, Amy's keys fell out of David's coat pocket. And thus started our long, cold, snowy day. See, here's a screen shot of the exact moment the keys fell out of his pocket, it's taken from the video Amy was shooting.

Seems easy enough right? You'd think two college educated humans would be able to find them. WRONG! Amy and David ended up on their hands and knees digging through the snow trying to find these stupid keys...not for a few minutes, or even half an hour, but for 3 hours! They were not at all amused. I was actually amused because I ended up just eating snow, ice, leaves and sticks, basically anything within reach of my mouth. I love the snow and since my fur is pretty long, I didn't mind the cold at all. I have a feeling Amy and David didn't feel the same way.

David finally had to stop searching cause it got too dark. Amy's sister, Vicki, had to come over with spare keys to the house to let us back in. David even went and got a metal detector to try and find them but with no luck. Finally, this morning Amy went back out to the hill and started combing through the snow with a rake and was able to find them. Whew!

Here's a video of me playing in the snow:
