The Joys of Dog Ownership, it's Going to be a Long Winter


Yes, walking the dog when it's -21C is a real treat. The weather turned very cold over the weekend and it's certainly been a challenge taking Poppy out for her twice daily walks. Especially since she's decided that it's much too cold outside to attend to her business. She just scampers through the snow trailing a frozen owner at the end of her leash until we give up and come home. Murray came back Sunday night with a good case of hypothermia and had to soak in a warm tub to defrost.

This picture is of me this morning. The blunked out little orphan Annie eyeballs are because my glasses were all frosted over. Brrrrrr

I don't envy you! We got snowed on yesterday and the day before and it's MUCH colder than we're used to but that's nothing compared to what you're contending with! Thankfully our power hasn't gone out here as it has in other parts of town due to falling trees and power lines!

Well, and our power did go out but we had our trust generator :-)

Actually it's warmer now. We had one of those Ottawa temperature swings. It was +8 yesterday and it's -6 today. I hate winter...
