It's snowing here now, and then it's changing to ice, so it's going to be treacherous. Yesterday with the windchill it was -10 degrees,so Kaie only played for a few minutes once the wind settled down later in the day. Today it wasn't long either, but we played inside. She played for a while on Wednesday and Thursday. Both days she had either a jacket or coat on. Both came from Finland, so they are pretty warm, and I also put a cashmere sweater under the coat. I think they are both to make us feel better aboutw her being out in the cold because Katie doesn't seem bothered by it. I have been putting fleece booties on her also to protect her feet. Katie just wants to play, and she has loved having me home for the week. Monday I go back to work, but Katie will still get lots of playtime. She starts walking around the house with a toy in her mouth, letting me know it's time to play, and I can't resist her..
Before Katie came to live with us, she had lots of play time, but she was part of a pack. Her breeder told me she didn't like the rain, and Katie still doesn't. She wouldn't hesitate to go out in the rain if she knows we are going out to play, though. When she first went out in the snow the first winter with us, she wasn't thrilled about getting her muzzle wet. Now she will dig through a mound of snow, face right in the middle. She is one determined little girl! You can see in the attached photo how she was. She would have attempted anything then, but she was more concerned about getting wet.
Tomorrow it should be low forties, so I hope this ice melts. I hope you stay warm too. |
