drdawg said:I know what you mean, Rita. Our lows have been in the mid-20's for two mornings. We get some lows in the 30's for a few days and then it looks like we are back into the 20's. Winter has finally arrived in earnest here.


I really dislike winter. Before I had my little dog I mostly stayed inside as much as possible and rarely went outside. Now I can't stay in since the dog needs to be walked. No fenced backyard for us here.

I remember last year walking in horrible weather us both bundled up as much as possible. But this season I have been spoiled as the temps have been so mild. Record breaking December highs many of the days and certainly for the entire month. So the weather was perfect for my exercise walking. I got in the habit of walking 3 miles or more each day with my dog.

The exercise is good for both of us. My dog is little but very active and just loves her long walks. But who wants to be outside for any length of time in this frigid cold spell? Not me!!!
