Here it is the second Saturday in January already; it is a freezing cold day, so cold we have had the heating on all day.
Since it got dark, I can hear the wind howling outside and Richie tells me it is snowing furiously, apparently it is whirling around like crazy.
The wind is so wild the snow is falling and whirling back up all at the same time, wish I could see it better but the electric lights prevents a clear view.
Richie and the dogs have just been round the block in record time, no lingering tonight by either dog to sniff and investigate exciting smells.
Both wanted nothing more than to get back inside and sit in the warm and carry on chewing their bones.
We thought that seeing as a proper walk was not going to happen today, bones could be a good distraction for Marleen and Spike.
Luckily Richie found a little tartan lined coat for Spike to give him some extra protection from his dreadful weather.
He needs that but especially now with the inflammation in his right knee; Spike has been alot more cheerful today.
Spike has even been playing with his Kong, which he has not done since Tuesday, we think that the medicine is working and the inflammation in the knee is getting better.
It is really lovely to see our little doggie cheerfully playing again, have missed hearing Spike running around, it was suddenly very quiet.
Now I can hear the sound of little feet running from room to room following Richie wherever he goes
Richie has just gone to the kitchen to make soup and as soon as he started Spike was off like a rocket to supervise.
Life as we know it has been restored by the sound of happy doggie footsteps.
