Weather here is still a balmy 48 with a warm springlike rain. My Hostas are starting to come up and my Lilacs are budded. SO confused! Maybe I am doing something wrong, but my dogs dont go outside if its 25 degrees or below except for toilets. I also monitor the windchill factors and if it is a severe wind child, they stay inside in their "dog room". Our house has an attached garage that has a heated/tiled room with Mason pens. Its adjacent to my kitchen; I can see them while I am cooking. Its the ONE thing I will desperatley miss when we finally DO sell. Get alot of strange looks from visitors when they are greeted with chain link upon entering! lol...probably WHY it hasnt sold and one of the PRIMARY reasons I BOUGHT it! lol...
