It’s really cold here. Really, really cold!
I took Sophie for two very, very short walks today, and I wished I would have talked with Melissa BEFORE I had gone on those walks.
The wind chill this afternoon was 7 degrees. Yep, a whopping SEVEN!
Melissa had made a commitment to walk Olive, her Schnauzer, for at least a mile every day after work.
But as she was walking late this afternoon she decided that from now on the ‘feels like’ temperature has to have at least two digits in order to talk Olive for a walk.
While the dogs might not mind the cold, their walkers do!
So if the wind child is nine or below, no walking.
Sounds like very good advice to me!
Thanks, Misslissa!


Do you have some good ear muffs? Once, when WalMart carried them, I spent hours trying them on and kept all I could find that were comfortable. I wore some the other day and they were marvelous. And some day…..I am looking forward to finding all the other ones I bought that day.
Keep warm!
Brrr. Cold ears are awful! I hate it when I misplace things…
I’ll take cold ears over a cold nose and chin. 🙂
I would take the opposite. My ears ache horribly when it gets cold. I need to remember to buy ear muffs. I do hate it when the cold makes my nose run like a slowly dripping faucet – gross.
I haven’t tried ear muffs, but I should.
My favorite cold weather apparel is a gaiter that I made. I was thrilled when I found it the other day. 🙂
So gaiters cover the lower leg kind of like leg warmers?
