Very Cold Dogs

Very cold dogs, and a very cold dog walker too I might add.   And the dog walker is without her hot water bottle, due to the dogs taking it over.  Such is life here today.  Sacrifices.

Bobbi and Jezzie happily snoozing in the photograph below. after a very long walk in the woods.  They came back tired and very cold, so after a wash in the bucket, warm water of course, they settled on the couch with a lovely hotwater bottle, wrapped in a towel.  Bliss, they must have told themselves, and well earned after the rigorous walk that Oma took us on.

 Not only was the walk rigorous, it was bitterly cold, and when the photograph below was taken, beginning to snow heavily.  Not that the snowflakes show in the photograph.  All the tracks and paths were very muddy, which hampered our progress, and made the dogs' feet very cold.   These two little beauties are not built for the cold outdoors.  They try to avoid every puddle and every patch of mud, which is now near impossible, out in the woods.

Unfortunately for Jezzie and Bobbi, we are just about to go out for another walk in the biting cold, but to the playing fields this time.

Fresh air and toilet breaks, girls.  Sorry.
