Dearest Dogs in Blogland, 

When it snows, human children have a tendency to build a thing called a "snowman."   This creature stands guard in YOUR yard, and should not be tolerated.    We will show you the proper procedure for taking down this intruder.

First, sit idly by while said snowman is being constructed.  Look bored. 

Next, feign a *tiny* bit of interest as the snowman nears completion.  This makes the human feel good. 

Feel free to sniff the snowman's butt.    It is a dog's right and civic duty.

Pose next to the finished creature as the human applauds him or herself. 

If the human appears too cocky, pull out an arm. (From the SNOWMAN!)

IMPORTANT:  Wait for the cover of darkness, fake an urgent need to go potty, and go outside and remove all the stones from the snowman.  Eat these.  (Bonus points for throwing them up on the carpet at 3 am.)

The next day, begin your attack.  A two-dog technique is best. 

If you find any fabric booty, run away with it. 

Feel free to do with it as you wish. 

Try not to appear too foolish, though. 

You are now ready to take down the yard intruder.  Grasp firmly and shake while your partner nips at it.

Once toppled, dispense the final death blows.

Proclaim yourselves KINGS OF THE YARD!
