Tender Loving Care

I got our car stuck in the snow. My girlfriend, Jess, our Boston Terrier, Oliver, and I had just finished a short sunset hike through the snow in Colorado's Eldorado Canyon. It had been a fun stop on our winter road trip through the four corner states. Oliver didn't mind the snow too much, especially after he figured out that he could eat it. Infact, he ate so much snow that he threw up over and over on the hike. He wouldn't even break stride. We were pretty hungry and planned on stopping in Boulder for some dinner before crashing at our friend's house in Erie. Darkness fell as I drove my girlfriend's Subaru Forester out on the narrow road. Another car was driving up the road and without really thinking, I politely steered to give them more room. The snow masked a small drainage dish on the cliffside of the road and the Foreseter slid into it. Crap. I tried backing out, rolling forward and out, everytime we just slid back in. Stuck. I jumped out on my hands and knee...
