“You called Boss?”
“Yes, Lucy. It’s time for your morning walk.”
“Hold on, Boss. Have you been out there today?
“Yes. It is a little chilly.”
“Pops. Sixty degrees are a little chilly. It is thirty degrees right now.”
“Come on. How do you know that, Bailey?”
“You’re kidding, right? I’m a dog. It’s in my DNA to know what is going on outside all the time.”
“Do you agree, Lucy?”
“Well, as I take a sniff of the downstairs exit I can sense some cold air.”
“You guys are like the biggest chickens. It will do you good to get some fresh air. You laid around all day yesterday.”
“Well, there were reasons Boss.”
“Like what kind of reasons?”
“It was a Tuesday. On Tuesday Bailey and I like to lay around.”
“I know. I got a photo of you two.”
“Let me look, Boss. Oh, I see there is some sunshine.”
“See there you are. Come look Bailey. You’ll like it.”
“Um. In a minute, Pops. I need to do some creative thinking.”
“I can imagine, Bailey. How about you Lucy?”
“You know, Boss. Right now I’m good. Let me rest in this ray of death for a minute.”
“So maybe we’ll go for a walk later?”
“We’ll get back to you on that, Boss.”
“How about if I get out your blankets?”
“Now you’re talking, Boss.”
“Way to go, Pops.”
“You ladies look cute.”
“Why thank you. (As if we didn’t know. Right, Bailey?)”
“Right.”

It hit -15F last night, so I went check on Scooter early this morning. He has an outside run and a kennel inside the shed with a small door in-between. The kennel has a thick mat of fresh straw and a heat lamp. So where was he? Sleeping outside in the snow.

Chilly here in Florida. Two nights in a row with 8 hours below 32 degrees. My three dogs were anxious to go out the first night until they realized it was cold. They rushed in and cuddled up on my big dog’s dog bed together to warm up. Wimpy Florida dogs.

They are too cute, John, and love their coats! Here in northern CA. we’re finally getting rain, but then it’s back in the low 60’s, so no, not too cold. Tonight, our son heads to DC for his internship, so he’ll get a bigger taste of the real cold. 🙂

I would say he will. I remember the rain in Northern California. Was substantial. We lived for a while on a hill and I always worried we would slide down. Was glad to move to Sonoma where the city was flat.

It’s been pretty dry, so the rains are welcomed. No floods yet. We’re not on a hill, so no worries of sliding. And we love Sonoma, but then when the northern Cal. fires hit in October, that gave all another scare. We’re about an hour south of Sonoma. 🙂
