02.14.16 Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. It's cold outside.....

..... and inside, too!

Happy Valentine's Day.

We had a cold snap here - Arctic freeze and it was -10 degrees F in the morning with a wind chill of -32 degrees F. That is cold. On the bad news side of things, we had no heat in the house as the furnace went out - the oil line froze. But the car did start so not all bad news. Again the next morning the furnace stopped working again. This happens every time when we have bitter cold weather so I have  a space heater to keep us warm until the oil line if thawed. We are only in a bit of a freeze inside when we have no power, so out comes the sleeping bag.

The pups did go outside - the first time was very quick, later in the day when it warmed up to 10 degrees F, they ran and played per usual. They jump into the fluffy snow and stick their faces in the small stacks. But they were out for only a short time then I called them back inside. I was ready for them with a warm towel and warm bowl of water and a treat and a cuddle and they warmed up quickly.

Curled up in their sweaters, blankets and towels to keep warm while I worked from home.


Need to shovel the porch, but the pups like the snow and sit on warmer days watching the birds at the feeders.


Warming up while the furnace is being fixed. Two princes on pillows!
