Because of the neighbors, I take my dogs out one at a time in the morning (before 7). This morning, it was -5 degrees (YIKES!). Surprised I didn't just break like an icicle, but it really wasn't too bad. O.K., I had on enough clothing to clothe 3 people. BUT, the funny part was that 2 of the dogs (even Moxie) did just fine, ran over, did their thing and we went back in the house. Took Fire out...well, she wasn't thrilled with the cold, but hot-footed (cold-footed?..lifting fast and quick) back to the warm garage. Yo?, YO! ran out with his usual exuberance, ready to take on the world, ran to his favorite tree, off to do the perimeter check, and came running back to me, trying to get all four feet off the ground at once. He looked at me, like, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY GROUND!?????. I laughed, but the laugh dropped off into the snow hah, hah, by ha ha...... :-) Stormy In a message dated 12/7/05 7:42:59 AM, lollark@xxxxxxx writes: > The thermometer says the outside temp is -7 degrees and I'm hoping the dogs > will sleep just a little later.
