Frosty!

It has been reported in previous posts that we are a little wimpy here in Southern California when it comes to the weather. It is probably because we have the luxury of having such a temperate climate. I can adapt to colder (not hotter!) weather after a week or so, but it takes a bit to get used to it!

There have been a number of cold days down here of late, including consecutive days of freezing nights and mornings. This makes for some chilly walks, but with the right amount of layering (as in a minimum of 3 plus gloves), all is well.

Our dog friends LOVE the cold, especially Shadow. She has that super heavy coat and spends most of her time panting when we are out on our twice a day walks, so having a cold morning must feel so refreshing for her. Scooby and Daphne enjoy when the ground is frozen because it makes for some easier running through the soft sandy parts - that is good for chasing wayward critters!
