Sweaters, Hoods and Coats

Not for me, though. I'm well taken care of. I'm talking about these guys (and gal):

Ginny

Harry

James

As much of the country has dipped into the single digits and below zero, I have to be sure my pups are kept toasty warm. I know they are spoiled. They are my babies.

Our frozen stream

Usually, they wear 'one or the other'...meaning, 'either' the sweaters, 'or' the winter jackets. But this calls for doubling up on resources! Here they are in their cozy sweaters:

And here they are after putting the coats over the sweaters. I even got them little hoods to put on their heads to keep their ears (and head) warm. These also work well when it's raining...keeps them from getting soaked and matted!

The stream is only partially frozen. The pump is recirculating the water so areas of the waterfalls continue to function:

A view of James bundled in his cold-weather gear:

Ginny was actually the quickest of the three; she got back on the deck and stood at the door to the house almost as quickly as she went out:

I was able to stand on the stream. I've watched squirrels and birds do the same thing all day today.

I hope my friends are staying warm. A low of 5 degrees early this morning really wasn't THAT cold when I consider the frigid temps in other areas of the country. Tonight's lows will get down to 3 degrees. But that still shouldn't be low enough to totally freeze the stream...fortunately.

What gifts have you discovered today? Until next time,
