OsloPress

I’m working on adding some photos that demonstrate just how we managed to move the new press.  Until then, let’s just say it wasn’t so easy.  On the bright side though, at least the press wasn’t sitting outside when the snow came!  That’s right, we recently had some gorgeous snow-filled weather.  Absolutely perfect if you ask me.  And well…  we just couldn’t resist letting Oslo have a little taste of the white fluffy stuff.

Normally, Oslo is extremely cautious and whenever he encounters something new, he very carefully and slowly examines it.  This usually consists of him lowering his body close to the floor, possibly feeling the new thing in question with a paw to see if he can walk on it, and then he will most certainly lick it.  I guess he assumes that from licking there will be two potential outcomes.   The new thing in question will either be edible (in which case he will devour it because he loves to eat), or simply non-edible (in which case he will assume it is safe to move on since it is not worth his time).

We thought for sure that Oslo would react to the snow somehow.  Instead of checking it out though, a very serious look came over his face, and without even so much as sniffing the stuff, he proceeded to march straight back to the open garage door.  We carried him outside three times in a row (photo opps, right?)  and never once did he stop more than a second or two to look around.  I suppose the cold was more than he could handle.
