Heidi Gets Some Exercise

After spending 23 of 24 hours per day sleeping in bed or on the couch during the 'arctic weather', she decided today to get some exercise after lunch. Nothing quick but just endurance ... a lap around the house, hugging close to the house to keep her feet dry.

All Walks Are Cancelled Today

Getting up a little before 8am I could tell it was colder than normal outside. Every storm window was covered in ice. By 10:30am when I opened the kitchen door to let Stella and Sadie outside to relieve themselves, we saw the storm door frozen as well as the handle.

It was 3°

They did not stay out long ... and Heidi tells me there is no chance that she will leave her bed of sleeping bags today.

Heidi's Winter Aerobics

She tested the outside temps after lunch, did an immediate turn and headed back inside. Finally after some coaxing around 9pm, she went outside to relieve herself. This is her normal winter activity ... no reason to be alarmed.

Heidi's Cold Weather

Today we had windchill below 20° ... so Heidi moved into her deep winter mode to beat the freezing temps.
