I wouldn't have to sleep on the bastard floor!
Don't! One winter storm, a year or so ago, I'd fed the dogs, then went back out to check on them after a couple of hours. One of the kennels had completely disappeared under the blown snow. Time to take the dogs inside. The van in the garage had space for 8 of them, but four of them had to come in to the house. By the time I came in and removed all my protective gear, the four dogs were all lying on top of my bed. Ah, soddit. Grabbed a sleeping bag and kipped down on the dogs' mats on the bedroom floor. Couple of stormy days later, I got my bed back!
