Today I decided that I needed to move around a little. So each time one of the dachshunds wanted to go out, I dressed up in my warmed coat, hat and gloves and took them out. They took advantage of me terribly, as they kept going to the door and barking to go out.
In the early morning hours and the early afternoon it wasn’t too bad. The sun was shining, there wasn’t too much of a breeze and I was dressed warmly. It felt good!
But as the day wore on, and the sun got quite low in the sky, it began to really cool off and a light wind began, thus making me feel very chilled each time we went out.
And of course, the puppies decided that this was the perfect time to go out and look around. I would stand there encouraging them to do their “business”, and they would look at me like I was crazy.
I actually have a lot of sympathy for the dogs. I mean, I wouldn’t want to have to go outside in the middle of the winter on such a frosty day and do my “business” on a snow bank!
However, as I stood there freezing my butt off, I began to feel less bad for them and more sorry for myself! I mean, wow, it was cold!
Hubby got a fire started in the hearth, Now it’s taking the chill out of my bones, although my feet still feel pretty numb.
The funny thing here, by Monday it is supposed to warm up and heavy rain will fall. Ah yes, this winter has been full of surprises!
Boy, do those dogs have you well trained!
I took Wolf for a walk today and it was SO cold, I actually turned around to go back home, but Wolf implored me to keep going, so I did 🙂
I live in a corner where no hats and no gloves are needed…which helps to have a reduced wardrobe!! Your dogs are very lucky to have you ::wink::
Am I happy that I don’t have to accompany my cats outside wait until they digged their holes and fill it up after the business done ! For the moment it is quite cold 3 to 5° but a wonderful sunshine and a blue sky ! I feel like rebirthing !
I know what you mean, but don’t forget my saying about weather and clothes. It seams like you have even colder weather than we have in Oslo, Norway though. This weekend we’ve had lovely sunny weather and just below freezing.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead 🙂
I don’t understand how they can want to go outside, it seems like it would make the whole process terrible!
It’s in the 70’s F already here in Dubai. I hope it warms up there too, soon! For the meantime, keep warm Maribeth!
