BRrrrrrr! Stomp stomp stomp. . . .clunk of a shutting door

Geez, Louise, but it's COLD out there! Damn near slipped in the ice while out breaking an inch of the cold stuff off of the top of the dogs' water dish. (The girls have their own radiator out in the garage--there's no way a pit bull and a catahoula would sit still for wearing doggie sweaters if I tried to put any on them, though I DID jokingly put a red and blue boy's crew neck sweater on the pit bull one day last summer and she looked so preppie!)
