And a few more nights and it will fill up the hole in this pile of split firewood. (The two rows on the right we split and added earlier this week when we got rid of the pile of firewood you can see on the right in the top picture.)

So what is he doing today? Making rawhide - out in a snow shower! (This is the winter that just won’t quit...) We heard that making rawhide was one of the jobs they featured on the show Dirty Jobs. I think making rawhide in the snow takes it a step further...
