Frigid Isn't It?

Here is the gallery.

It is downright cold but they are playing slightly longer outside. When the feet are lifted, the dogs must come in.

Last night I had so much fun trying to get everyone back in. Nathan went to bed early. It was Dennis day off so it was me and the dogs. They saw a rabbit running so off they ran. No amount of come worked. 3 times I had to rally the dogs to come indoors. They were having too much fun. Not me. I was freezing. Then I came indoors and called dogs out by their name and all was there. I couldn't take a chance one was hiding trying to get that rabbit nor could a dog be outside for an extended period of time. Besides, it was bedtime. I finally got the dogs upstairs 30 minutes later than usual. I will tell you the smart dogs that were not losing their minds over the chase came in right away. Not all like the chase game. Those that remained do.

I was exhausted by the time I crawled into bed and do not remember closing my eyes. 

Today it is Nathan's day off. He took Dennis for his tests at Lifelab - he is doing his yearly physical. He went shopping. He's laying in bed reading and when he got home, he broke the front door as it got iced over. Dennis fixed it somewhat but when we can, we need it repaired fully or get a new one. Always something.

Mr. Benji just had his groom and he is now eating and heading home any minute. 

I am so trying not to watch the American news. Each day is chaos. What are people watching?
