Not Quite Warm Enough

It did finally warm up enough Tuesday afternoon (yesterday) that we took a walk. It had been the first walk for the hounds since last Saturday on December 30. Of course that was a walk with Stella on a leach and she would tell Sadie and I if it were too cold. Yesterday afternoon was fine ... but not this morning.

I glanced at my iPhone weather seeing the same temps and wind chill as yesterday afternoon, so we headed out this morning. We didn't get far though ... Stella didn't lift any of her paws to show me she was cold but just turned around and headed home ... we were done for this morning but with a high of 24° possible this afternoon, we might be back here with some afternoon pictures.

Colder longer than I can remember since moving to 'the tropics' of Southern Indiana 20 years ago.

When Is Spring Arriving?

I know Sadie is tired of this below normal arctic winter weather. I am too. It looks like the frozen tundra out there and as we attempt to walk, the ground is as hard as rock. Only two walks since last Saturday, December 30th due to sub-zero wind chill. We are all wondering how many days until Spring????

Heidi Cancels Today

To start the new year off right, it's only appropriate to have Heidi decide what our outdoor activities will be today.

Today Is Canceled per Heidi

The hounds will have a limit of 5 minutes outside each time they go out to dump their tanks today. Yesterday even Sadie was running from the field directly behind the house to the door step in less than 5 minutes after she was finished.

All of this indoor time prepares us for the first of two college football playoff games, starting at 5pm.

Heidi Says "No Way"

Heidi was out at 7:30am to relieve herself after a night of sleep but I doubt she will get outside until it warms up a little by late afternoon.
