Still Life: Shy Dog in Blizzard #1

Sean & Vanessa took their kids to Mexico for a month, so I volunteered to take care of their dog, Chilly, while they're away. I miss having a dog around, and I'm quite partial to Chilly, so I've been looking forward to my Adventures in Dog-Sitting. We had a blizzard overnight (Sun., Jan. 21 - Mon., Jan. 22), so dog-walking takes on a whole new level of challenge. This morning at 5:30 we went out into the howling storm, and I tried to snap some photos of Chilly in the blizzard by the light of a street lamp. Alas, it turns out she is as camera-shy as Sinatra or Penn (but thankfully not as belligerent towards the paparazzi). I thought these "botched" photos looked kind of cool anyway, so here they are.
