i was always told that boiled water will freeze quicker than plain tap water. in this cold, it doesn't matter, tho......i put fresh water out for the first set of dogs for "last outs," and it was frozen by the time they came in.....not solid, but frozen across the top and I needed a stick to break thru... Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doc Zoe" <wynsum@xxxxxxx> Usually leave the dogs outside, but at 6F, too cold - and abusive Water buckets were freezing with boiled water in them Hope this deep freeze ends soon as my Internet went down when the temps dropped 19 degrees EVERYONE STAY SAFE Doc Zoe ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
