WOW! It has been months since I have been on dogster.

Mother Nature has been SO mean to my state (and not to mention so many others) here in the past few months. Right now, the temp is about 10 degrees (with windchills in the double-digit negatives), yet it is sunny. It is very confusing to me. When I see sun, isn't it supposed to be warm? But it isn't. It is so cold out, it makes my feet hurt when I step outside the door! But, I don't care. My pawrents have to practically drag me back in the house after I potty so that I do not get frostbite, 'cause I want to stay out there and play. It is that cold and that dangerous. I am learning to deal with not playing outside. Thankfully, we play hard in the house, I get to go to daycare a few times a week, and we go to pet stores and to visit family. So, I am not that cooped up, but it sure feels like it.

Last week, we had an ice storm, and we have about 3-4 inches of ice on the driveway and the yard! Other than the cold, that is why I cannot go out to play. The ice on the yard is too dangerous for me. We got about 5 inches of snow this past weekend, and I went outside for a few minutes while my pawrents were shoveling the ice driveway, and I sheared off some of a pad on my backfoot just walking around on the snow and ice.

The good news...we are having a heat wave this weekend! Mommy says the temps will be in the 40s and pushing 50 degrees and we can spend a lot of time outside! We can take lots of walks/run, though with the melting snow and ice, it will be sloppy. I hope that maybe by the middle of next week, I can play in the yard again as the ice will have melted. Paws are crossed!!!
