    The last big snow in Chch my Dad was over from Canada (first time to see me in four years). We planned on taking his new wifey up to Able Tasman for some walkies, so I put the boy in the kennels for the week. We ended up playing board games in front of the fire the whole bloody week and Dad and his woman didn't end up seeing any of the country, OR meeting my boy! I couldn't get my ute out to Oxford to pick him up...had to load up the ute with bricks from the buggered house just to get to the airport (2km away) to pick Dad up!!

    I think I've put this up here somewhere already but this was all I ended up doing outside that week...

    Been down there myself walking around in knee deep snow. Can honestly say i didn't enjoy it. But, young and eager meant it got done anyway.
