  Looks like it is wearing a fleece coat and some sort of weapon.

  Surfed here via Daily Coyotes Tweet - It's hard to get my head around you being buried in snow while over here in England (not known for it's good weather) are still having sunny t-shirt days - IN OCTOBER! Not that I'm complaining mind!

  Oh yeah, now I remember why I moved to the SOUTH! I still miss the snow - but not enough to move back.

  LOL - I sent this link to a few friends with the comment "I don't want to hear about my truck being dirty".... How do you wash it off? Can you wash it off?

     Well, it is ice and mud... so it'll melt off... and most of it did today finally since it got warm enough.  But the pickup is a RANCH pickup.  It doesn't get very pampered!  We let Mother Nature put it on... and usually wait for Mother Nature to take it off!

  Love the photos. I "borrowed" one of the mud and ice starburst photos, I put it on my Facebook wall. Hope you don't mind, I just had to share it. I did give the credit to you, listed your website. As recent as last week, it was still in the 90's here (Houston area), just Saturday, it got down to the upper 50's! Very different from where you are, huh?!

     Ugh.  90's would be horrible!  We are about 40 degrees cooler than normal... but what IS normal????

  I found you through the Daily Coyote. Love your pictures! They remind me of growing up in Montana (Billings); makes life here in Colorado look positively tame, at least most of the time.

     Ah... another DailyCoyote!  Glad to have you visit!  If I had to live in a big city... Billings would make the cut... Denver sure wouldn't!!  Glad you stopped by... come back anytime!

  It was somewhat startling to see your first picture of the snow, ice and frozen mud-covered truck, AND the green leaves on the trees behind the truck! Mother Nature is truly an amazing trickster!

     I'll take a picture of all the frozen green leaves on my YARD once it warms up too!  So much for fall color!

  I'm another FOC (friend of charlie's), and I love these photos. Did the mud star freeze into that shape while the tire was spinning? Holy cow! How cold was it?

     Welcome, FOC'ers...  It was 20 degrees or so... but slushy roads... so driving for an hour to town and back made it that way... Cool.

  Yay for the mighty Dodge. We have an '84 Ramcharger that is still going strong. Don't use it as often since gas prices went through the roof, but it faithfully runs whenever I need it.

  Another FOC here, happy to find you! The wheel is amazing. Oddly, it reminds me of the chocolate italian ices in a paper cup we used to get as kids back in NY.
  
  Mid 60s here in CO this week, hope the mild air drifts northward. Although my canine crew can't wait for a good snowstorm!

     Mild air is coming... thanks!  Went to your blog... how cool.  I wanted to do that for years... raise a service dog... I never lived anywhere where it was available.  Kudos to you.  Come back anytime!

  Yet another FoC here.
  
  Speaking as a lifelong resident of Down Under, those pics impress the hell out of me, and scare me no small amount as to how cold that must be. The wheel-hub icicles are awfully pretty though.
  
  Just checking: That Dodge *is* blue underneath all that muddy ice, right? *boggles*

     Yes... the Dodge is Patriot Blue... that's what they call it!  My Durango is the same color!  Really, the icicles can't form in too cold of weather since the slush off the highway has to splash up onto the wheel hubs... and then gets spun outward...  Since you're from Down Under, check out this entry of mine about YOUR country.  http://blog.rimrockenglishshepherds.com/2009/08/06/hot--the-book.aspx

        Yeah, there's a *lot* of really beautiful country out there, in the austere mode. Driving across it is an experience well worth having.
        
        As for icicles and cold, I live in Western Australia, where a winter's night that gets below freezing is considered *very* cold.
        
        Ice forming outside? Unpossible!

  You are living my dream. If you have any pics of your pups and the snow, I would love to put them on my little website I have for our local dog park. Florida people love to see others winters..Tonite we are getting down to the mid 50's I think.. Brrrr...

  I love your most recent blogs and photos
  Although I dont ride anymore, the pics of the views over the horses head..well..I love them. My 'scenery" was always different, but I will never forget what it looks like from the back of a horse. You are sooo very lucky. Again, you are living my dream. If you ever get time, please make a post of your pups on my website, you can upload pics and give all our Floridians a taste of a true winter and a true working dog...

     I haven't got that great of shots of my dogs in the snow yet... most of them are OOPE ones... what I call the pics I take with my camera in my pocket or in a fanny pack... NO LOOKING THROUGH THE VIEWFINDER!  When I get some decent snowy ones, I'd be happy to share!

        I will wait patiently ....I love you sharing your life here..although it sometimes makes me sad to feel like I have always lived in the wrong place...either by fear or ignorance..Just never had the chance ..or maybe was just always content to never look past where I was.
        Your blog gives me a small piece of that part of my heart. I thank you for taking the time to share it all. And, I commend you for knowing what you have..and enjoying it.

  I saved the last one - but only for my own personal enjoyment later - and labeled it as 'Star and Art Critic'. Mind you, it also looks like a monster devouring a cookie.
  
  Luckily Nova Scotia isn't into that sort of weather yet, although our first frost warning of the year is up for tonight.
  
  And yes, I, too, found you through Shreve and Charlie, [I'm definitely a FoC ] but I do check in regularly, because I really enjoy hearing about your life there - and I love the dogs.
