Booted and Suited Up

This morning we woke up to -34C with the windchill it feels like -46. Windchill you ask, how do you figure out the windchill,? Well Wikipedia has a very scientific explanation of how to calculate the wind chill index. In unscientific terms, it is very cold, too cold for man or beast.

As luck would have it, Canada Post delivered a parcel from Eromit Labrador Retrievers and Pet Supplies this afternoon. Inside were 2 pair of fleece dog boots, one for Ardi and one for Reese. Thanks to Erin, Ardi and Reese are able to spend enough time outside to take care of business without freezing up. No need to chase the squirrels, not even they are brave enough for this weather, but the yard did recieve the customary patrol for varmints. This weekend the weather promises to be warmer, so there is a good chance they will get a chance to try their boots while I snowshoe.
