Short-lived...

Boxing Day was a lovely day... with a high temp of -6C. So lovely that myself, Zoë, my sister and her dogs trucked around the dog park for an hour. The dogs had a blast running through the snow and playing, with no winter clothing on.

Today, as I get ready to take Zoë for a walk, it is -21... but feels like -30 because of the wind.

Layer upon layer... just to survive a trundle so the dog can run and burn off some steam. Sometimes I wish I had a 10 lb dog instead of a 100 lb dog - so that she could run around the house for exercise when it is this cold.

*sigh... very big sigh*

  1. Well I certainly hope you got all the boxes your heart desired! And maybe some parcels and envelopes, too to celebrate Boxing day ;)

    Lucky, lucky dog to have such a wonderful, loving owner. Well, small dogs are loud and annoying; they might get eaten by the cat.

  3. Hahaha, Eros! Did absolutely nothing with boxes that day... but it's nice to have a second stat holiday right after Christmas (and before New Year's).

    Mago: ... right, you're right.... I would have put that thing down years before.... gak!
