Wintry Day

Its been a great wintry day.

Ann say's she's fallen in love. (No.. its not another man... one is plenty to have around the house)... its Grifffon, this Welsh Terrier (left picture) who's staying at the motel this weekend. I like him too! We had a great time racing around in the snow.

Its been a great day! The motel is full of all my friends from the Ohio Snowmads Club. Everyone has been excited to see me. They remember me from last winter when I was just a little tyke. All have been amazed how big I've grown, and how beautiful I am! I'm not bragging.. just stating what has been said over and over today.

When we took our walk we ran into my old friends, collies Sassy and Dancer. I always have a good time when I run into them. Sassy is the fastest runner I know. She can zip and zag even faster than me. Is there any more fun than zigging and zagging in the snow?

Everyone's been out riding their snowmobiles today.

Ann and Mike have been too busy to go out and ride. (HA! just how I like it... they can stay here with me) The snow keeps piling up so maybe we'll have plenty of guests all week that I can enjoy.

Fawn Lake Fury

Regarding the post of a few days ago... The Day of Jerks, and Jerk #2.

I agree and understand Fawn Lake is a private lake. I have not inferred otherwise. All I stated is that the roads in Fawn Lake are public. Thus, accessible to the public for driving, walking, or riding bikes.

I will make it a point to not walk down to the lake at your access site, although we had been given permission by other landowners in the association. I have never left any of my dog's dropping there, along the road or on any of the properties. If he would happen to go in any of those spots I carry gloves and a bag to pick it up. We want our guests to pick up after their dogs on our property and would show the same consideration.

There are property owners from your association that walk dogs daily back there (we have encountered them) that I know do not pick up after their dogs. I don't appreciate taking the blame for every person that has the audacity to walk on your roads.

We do not advise our guests to walk back there. We know that a few have, but its really been very few. Many times homeowners from Fawn Lake have family stay here, and they themselves (without any initiation from us) take the path to walk to their familys home. Just this past holiday week we had several rooms that walked over daily to visit their family. So this is something you need to take up at your Association if you have a problem with it.

People have walked the public roads on Fawn Lake, and Hart Lake for years. I have encountered many people who have told me they walk from Fawn Lake over to Hart lake, and from Hart Lake (cuttng through the woods) to Fawn Lake for daily walks for many years.

The only person who has a right to post a No Trespassing Sign is the landowner themselves.

Yes, we are a business on Old 27. I don't know what the comments were inferring about paying taxes. We pay taxes just like anyone else that provide the public roads. Its one of our major expenses. We are involved in our community, and have never wanted to be anything but a good neighbor. We have never intended to be anything but a good neighbor and a positive influence in our community.
