Dog walk report. Mostly clear and -10 at 5:30 this morning. Sam is not feeling great so she’s taking some time to decide if she’s up for a walk. Seems she has a short one in mind 🐕❤️

Dog walk report. -16 at about 5:30 this morning. No real wind - so that helps. Sam had me up for a bathroom break at 4, so I thought we might get a sleep-in. Nope. Happy Sunday ❤️🐕

Dog walk report. Chilly at -10 this morning, but no wind. I didn’t realize how much it had cooled off or I would have wrestled Sam into her coat. We’ll keep it short ❤️🐕
