Snow and Vanilla

Well, I suppose anyone who reads my blog (Thank you to the faithful few!) has noticed that soccer is finished for the fall season. Matthäus' last game got postponed due to snow...about 3 feet of it. We rarely have snow in November, but this time it hit us hard. There was up to 5 feet of the stuff near the Brenner Pass. We were fortunate and had only about 15 inches.
This was the view from our balcony about halfway through the low pressure zone. The kids, dog and I loved it, but anyone who had to drive sure didn't.
I thought I woud share a video of our dog with you. Our mini Schnauzer, Vanilla, is two. You might think Vanilla is a funny name for a dog that looks more like licorice, but it was her litter name, and since the four of us couldn't agree on a name for her, that is what she stayed! Of course, as with all parents, we think, as we do of our two-legged ones, that our four-legged kid is pretty special. We crate trained her, and she sleeps in her crate at night, locked in. She even opens the door herself, as you can see here. Isn't that good of her?
