Mom giving Fritz a brush job a few minutes ago,Fritz with a neighbor's boot under the table.He greeted the neighbor with tailwags and got petted.the neighbor came over to see dad and he said he and his wife are going on a cruise around the Dominican Republic for 2 weeks and it is a lot warmer there than it is here now.Fritz out in the patio,didn't want to come out of the cold.Just to the right of him is snow I shoveled from two drifts in front of the shed and between the shed and gazebo.There was no room to throw it in the flower bed and i can't throw it over the fence into the yard next to us,so it stays where it is .Fritz sleeping next to Dad while Mom was out shopping.By next Monday,it is supposed to be 32 fahrenheit and snow showers,significantly better than what it feels like right now,windchill about -25 fahrenheit,cold on the face.Dad is fine,one day one legg feels beter than the other,other than that he is not bad.
