As the coldest weather since the mid 1990’s blasts toward Minnesota, we all are staying pretty toasty inside.

A few days ago, Biff, in a noble attempt to provide some outdoor time for the puppies, got the idea of building a clear windscreen around the kennel just outside our “doggy door”, a place for the puppies to get outside and into the sun and fresh air, if even for a few minutes.  How disheartening to find the temperatures for the pups’ last week with us are not cooperating.  Temperatures at zero and way below zero are just too cold for 7 week old puppies, wind or no wind.  So his project was halted.  We are going to open up the other downstairs space tomorrow to provide these increasingly active (and larger) puppies to motor around.

The puppies had a few more visitors today, from Lakeville and Richfield.  Thanks Joanie, Rich, Melissa, Brady and Brinna for driving out.
