Cold, Cold, Week

It's been really cold all week, with single digit lows at night, dropping down to -9 degrees (that's 41 below freezing!) overnight during the weekend. My walking buddy Ken and I agreed that we'd just go out for a hot breakfast, and not try to walk, all three days of my long weekend. I tried taking Mandy for a walk on Saturday afternoon, after she started bugging me to get out farther than the yard, but that was a bust. She came up lame after just a minute or two, with the bitter cold quickly biting into her feet. It's too bad I haven't been able to figure out a way to keep her feet warm. We bought her some pretty nice boots, but now we call them anti-gravity boots, as her feet seem to just float up into the air, when she has them on.
