Yikes Brrrrrrrr

I was getting dressed as Shoshi wanted to go out. She looked - she smelt and I gathered felt that brisk air and said NO WAY.

Levon and Trigger departed. Levon was missing hanging out with Scruffy though his pal Brewer didn't come today. Logan and Panda didn't either as the car wouldn't start. Zoe did come but only for a quick bath. She really wanted to play - next time.

Nathan and Dennis is still sick. What that means is I am doing a lot as I don't believe the dogs should have a sedate day. They just do better when they are active, inside or out. This is highly unusual weather. It's not safe for them outside for any length of time. The adults go in and out quickly. Some seem to have more endurance than others much like humans, I suppose. So its a no photo day.

Although Nathan and Dennis can lay around with the dogs they are not up to play though Dennis did try with the pups. So, I play. I groom. I clean and then do it again. :-) Everyone has been groomed except Pepper and Scruffy but they get a grooming just before they go home or it will look like I don't do a thing.

Tomorrow Coco and Doozie arrive. I am excited. But can this cold go away? There is no way Coco will think this cold is doable. :-) Smart gal!

Please - please your dogs CAN get frost-bitten - no lie. Please watch your dogs closely. If they are lifting their paws pick them up and bring them inside. No walks - just out and in. This is simply way too cold.

Stay warm and think it could be worse. Cooper's parents I heard have 50cm of snow along with the cold. So why am I complaining? :-)
