I woke to the sounds of high winds blowing around my house. It resembles a freight train at times when our wind is blowing full force out of the north-west. Not only was the wind blowing, but at 5:30 am our temperature was just 22 degrees (F). So it was very cold!
I stumbled to the kitchen, turned on the coffee maker, and let the dogs outside. As soon as they came in (and they returned very quickly due to the cold!) I jumped into the shower and then into my thermal-lined clothes.
I got my coffee and then watched multiple episodes of The Dog Whisperer. It’s one of my favorite shows. In fact, I’ve been working with Lili training her to do simple polite things, like sit down when she comes in to await her cookie. The dog is smarter than I am.
I made meals, went out to get our mail, only to find I had four packages at the Post Office! I knew they were coming, but all at once? That is something I did not expect!
Tuesday I get my stitches out. I can hardly wait. In the last two days, the site has swollen and been very sore. So I am happy the doctor will be removing the stitches and hopefully, I will get some relief from that.
Tuesday is also election day and so once I am done at the doctor’s office I will swing home and pick up Jack and we will go and vote.
I repositioned my bird feeders today, as with this type of cold weather, the ground will be freezing soon, so I wanted to make sure they were in the correct spots for the winter. We are good to go!
I will leave you with this little joke I ran across. Please pardon the salty language, but this is exactly what my two dachshunds are thinking right now.
Enjoy the day and for those of you who are in the USA, be sure to go out and vote!
Hahahahahaha — I’ve been trying for years to get Rocky to recognize daylight savings time but he just isn’t buying it.
Think dogs hate the time change? Cats are even worse. The meowing when she didn’t get fed … loud enough to wake the dead …
Thank for voting.
Stay Safe and Coffee is on
Time changes are hard on animals, they tell time by their stomachs. I get Lola through it by feeding at the original time no matter what the clock says, then gradually extending the time by ten minutes until she is being fed by the clock. Then reversing the process when we change back.
