This is too cold for humans and canines!

 

Adventures have been frustratingly hard to find so far in 2025. It has been bone chillingly cold outside. Personally I hate the cold and certainly short-haired dogs like Boxers are not meant to be out in this type of weather for any long periods.

We did manage a quick walk this morning. I bundled the boys up in their coats and we took a walk while the sun was shining which made it a little more bearable.

Entertaining dogs who are used to be very active when they can’t get in their normal exercise is incredibly challenging. I’d like to say that I’m a spectacular Dog Mom and do everything right, but that wouldn’t be honest. I admit to being frustrated when I come home after working all day, get in my own workout, and when I just want to sit down and relax and Booker is repeatedly running into me, nagging me to throw his toys, chasing the cats and getting into things.

Sometimes I need to take a breath and think about it from his perspective and how he is just dealing with pent up energy that he needs to get out.

The forecast for this week looks miserable, but I noticed when I left work on Friday that it actually wasn’t dark so spring has to come soon, right?
