Brrrr.....It's Cold!

It hasn't been this cold in Southeast Texas since 1997! I love cold weather, but an Artic cold front I wasn't so sure about....the word Artic just sounds so harsh. I also love cold weather when I can be indoors sitting by a fireplace and drinking hot chocolate. I teach in a portable building so all day today I was in and out of the freezing cold. I bundled up, but I was still so cold. I can't even begin to imagine what it will be like tomorrow and the rest of the weekend with even much cooler temperatures. I am excited though to be able to wear my cute scarf that my friend Alecia gave me for Christmas (thanks!) and my furry boots!

With below freezing temperatures coming, I took my dog Maggie to Pet Smart last night and had her bathed and treated for fleas so she could come in the house. I love her, but I have never been an inside dog person. I borrowed my neighbors truck to bring her to the vet since she was dirty from being the outside dog that she is. Then, when I picked her up in my car I covered my backseat with a sheet. She looked so good when I picked her up.

As I brought her inside she was unsure about it, but she warmed up to the idea quickly. It took me a little longer as I tried to eat my tomato basil soup with her sitting beside me, staring at me, and sticking her nose in my lap. I am pretty sure that I am still not an inside dog person, but the Bible says "A righteous man cares for the needs of his animals" Proverbs 12:10.

Can you believe that she is 13 years old? I don't know if it is the angle of the picture or what, but I think she almost looks like a puppy in this picture and look at that smile :)

I got her a new collar and dog tag at Pet Smart too!

....I could get use to this!

Keep warm tomorrow!
