Yesterday we were in January thaw mode and I spent time out front chipping away at the 2-3 inches of ice, before it freezes over again.

Sweetie-pie wanted to spend time out front too.  But after a few minutes of not doing much, he started to shiver, even with sweaters on.  So out came one of his beds, nice and soft and with a thick bottom, and a blanket to help sweetie-pie stay warm.

…sweetie-pie goodness……….

…a little later yesterday morning…..still minus – 25C……….

Sweetie-pie experiencing the minus -25C later yesterday morning in the backyard.  The head scarf worked very well.

It was so cold for Boucle that in the afternoon, I dressed him up warm and led him to the door and he refused to go outside….too cold….

He has never refused to go outside…..and I am sure it was not because of the silly looking, but warm head scarf.  He had it on again later and did go out, as he probably felt he needed to.

Thankfully, the weather will start to improve later today….though it will still be cold……

….beautiful Boucle…….

… minus -25C and Boucle’s new head scarf experience……..

WEB--boucle-with-scarf---minus-25C

This morning it was -25C again when we got up.

Last week, when it dipped to -25C and I let Boucle out for his morning wake up call, he had his sweater and coat, but ears were bare.  After 3 minutes outside, his ears were icy cold, and a half hour later the tips were very hot.

So….this morning, I gently wrapped sweetie-pie’s head and ears in a make shift woolen head scarf.  He had no idea at this point what was happening.  He stayed in this position, with this look, tail down,  until I coaxed him to move with me towards the back patio doors….poor Boucle.  But….once he started moving and realized he was ok….he was happy and completely back to normal….bounding down the stairs and around the backyard.

Three minutes outside…came inside….and his ears were nice and toasty and warm…..

A new experience for sweetie-pie……..   🙂

…snowwwwwww!………..

We really got hit with a big snowstorm, first one of the season.  As I am close to the lake, we received a lot of lake effect snow too.  The photos are just at the beginning of the storm.  Boucle, is very enthusiastic….and then the snow and cold feels, well snowy and cold, and he likes to get back inside after doing his tour.

Yesterday, was out 3 times shovelling.  And Boucle gets his very own track around the perimeter of his backyard.  I will be back out today again for a final snow clearing.
