Uh…could you ask your neighbor NOT to do that ;) Maybe she can blow the snow the other way?

I thought about that (could you not put your snow in my yard :( )but there really isn't room for the snow to go anywhere else. I make sure I'm out in the yard now not just on the deck watching.
Just another thing to think about with basenjis.
There are really good tips in the training section on preventing accidental escapes - newer owners should especially check those out. -

Well I would have to say, it is pretty "rude" to be blowing snow into someone else's yard.. IMO… be like blowing leaves from the trees into a neighbors yard....

I would suggest purchasing what is called 'silt fence'. It's a black porous poly that construction sites use to keep sediment ON site (rather than getting into our sewers and clogging them up). Put this on HER side of the fence. It'll keep the snow from passing through your chain link.
See here: http://www.jmdcompany.com/images/supersilt.gif
and here: http://www.catalogclearance.com/itm_img/Silt_Fence.jpgGoogle it. It's pretty easy to find and also pretty cheap. They may even have something similar that will work at home depot. Your local contractor's supply houses typically carry a ton of it. I saw 36" x 100' rolls online for around $30 bucks.
Simple twistie-ties or zip-ties would work for attaching it to your fence.
Either that or get hook a hose up to your sink and start shooting it with hot water! They make hose to sink adapters for waterbeds. :)
Lastly, you could pack the snow, cut it into blocks and build an igloo. ;)

Thanks for that idea about the silt fencing Tucker - I'll look into it.
I also had this flash idea about your last "suggestion" - I can just see the igloo thing -it wouldn't matter how much snow fell or was blown on top of it either. Not only that but if EL D cornered a rabbit in the igloo - hoo boy :D

HA HA , we don't get snow at all anywhere within about 2000 kilmetres of us, in fact I have never even seen snow apart from in pictures. Christmas time is always very hot and Christmas lunch usually comprises of lots of salads and stuff instead of turkey so your story seemed extra funny to me. However I would definately be tempted to start making snowballs from the snow she is donating to you and throwing them back at her! How rude I think!

You could always put it to good use and move the snow and pile into sort of a ramp or obsticle course. He might even like it!

Even better - I could ramp it up the squirrel tree - EL D would love that!
