Winter is Here?

Well I guess winter is here. The dogs only wanted to do a short walk each and every one of them. They also wanted to play out more but for shorter timeframes.

That didn't stop Roxie and Zoe from playing like banshees nor Brewer running like the wind getting everyone to chase him.

But....

I will tell you inside and on his fave chair suited Logan just fine. I am not sure he has truly adapted to this frigid stuff. I am not sure I have either.

On another note, I need help. I got out all my baby comforters for the pups and I am finding them rough. Maybe its just me and my hands at this time of year but I am using softener. What do you use for the blankets to keep them soft? I may have to go out and buy some more baby comforters but maybe I can infuse some life into the ones I have with some help from all of you. Ideas?

Right now I am using Tide scent free and downy scent free and bounce scent free. Sounds like an awful lot of softening going on but doesn't feel that way.

Darlah does your washer have an extra rinse cycle ? Try that. Sometimes fabrics
hold a build up of detergent and various softeners. After washing, try a cycle without
detergent and watch to see if there are any suds.

I have some old blankets I can give you. Take a look at them before you run out and buy more. They are pretty soft. I can drop them off on Saturday at 9:00 if that works. Let me know.

Sylvia: 9am it is. I may be able to hold up a pup or two so you can see. We will have to see how Abs is. She gets a tad stressed if someone peeks in that isn't one of us. She has precious cargo.
