It's been cold.

I know I promised not to complain about the cold anymore.? I'm even sick of hearing me whine.

I just wanted to share this moment with you.

Sometimes, our dog Rose needs to go to pee in the middle of the night.? Well, the truth is: at 3:00 am every morning, Rose needs to go outside.? I know she pees. She also might meet a few friends, play some poker, toss back a few drinks, meet her friends.... Who know? Hell, I'm asleep.? I stumble down the stairs, through the kitchen and open the back door.

Last Friday?

She zoomed across the deck, down the stairs, and went to pee. Then she turned, looked at me, and pulled, with force, her feet from the ground. Step - pull, step - pull, step - pull.? Her feet were literally sticking to the ground as she walked.

She zoomed across the deck, in the house, up the stairs and into her crate before I even got the door closed.? Her paws were sore the next day.

Now that's cold.
