Midnight.
Wickedly cold.
The dogs need their constitutional before we retire for the night.
We do not have a fenced yard.
Therefore, I must:
- Turn off the computer
- Walk to the coat closet
- Put on my down coat
- Lace my stocking feet into my boots
- Locate two bags
- Put on glove liners
- Put on mittens
- Wrap scarf around my neck and face
- Harness Thing One
- Harness Thing Two
- Open the door
- Greet the arctic air
- Wait till the girls make a deposit
- Pick up said deposits
- Walk to trash can and deposit said deposits
- Try not to slip on icy sidewalk and get another concussion
- Come back inside
- Unharness Thing One
- Unharness Thing Two
- Remove outerwear
- Clean up
- Go to bed where Mr. B has been for the past 2 hours
- Move Thing One and Thing Two off my side of the bed so I can crawl in
- Repeat steps 2 through 21 in 7 hours and catch the bus to work.
What was I thinking when I said I wanted to retire in the Yukon?

At least I don't have to catch a bus tomorrow morning. And it's 41 and clear outside right now, so probably won't drop below 35 the rest of the night.
Hope you rest well and have a good Thursday.
Oh, I'm laughing in spite of your misery. My lil pooch does not like the cold one bit. His little manly part kind of drags in the grass a bit, so who can blame him (poor little Doxie). Plus he's almost 16 and forgets why we're out there in the first place. Even in his winter coat, he literally stops in his tracks as soon as the cold air hits him. Get's situational amnesia. Or selective amnesia. Regardless, he makes the unpleasant task an endless ordeal often requiring several trips.
I do love him so. And his snout is almost as cute as the one in your photo.
Stay warm Kathleen honey.
PS: I hope you steal Mr. B's covers when you finally DO get to bed!
I sweep the room with a glance.
Love Renee xoxo
Why??? ;)
That dog snout picture is completely, 100% sweet!!
Maybe you should consider some bubble wrap for your head.
The preparation for taking the dogs out sounds arduous. I do about the same when I go out to feed the horses - but at least I don't have to bag up their poop!
And we think we have it bad - poor you.
Those 24 steps are very arduous for you, and love no 13.
Sorry it has been a while since I visited - difficult to get round everyone these days.
Is it hubby's turn tomorrow?
I am just about to turn in myself 0 snore ~ Hugs, Eddie x
