Cold! Cold! Cold!  Both groups went to Southland and with the exception of Grannie Annie and Cheeotos (the prince) no one balked at the cold.  Owen even tried to swim (well actually he broke through a thin sheet of ice up to his knees.)  When  he got out of the water he rolled in the snow and his fur got all crunchy.  BRRR

The Pinkney kids were gone as soon as we landed at the park.  They led the group on a wild ride of fun and frivolity.  Those three don't waste a minute on fussy.  Marty had his paws full with Bella.  She just loves the little boys and their crazy energy.  It is a good thing that the two of them both enjoy teasing and chasing.  Ryder decided to hang back from the crowd again today as he doesn't like to get his fancy duds messed up.  Copper, Everest, Whistler and Ziggy did not even notice two deer walking behind the truck at the Mac's store in Cranston.  To be fair neither did I.  I thought the people in the store were just trying to trick me at first. 

The afternoon was not as cold but it seemed like there were substantially more  jackets to be put on.  The unloading process was quite extensive.  Everyone kept moving really fast.  Not sure if it was the temperature or their own energy.  Bruin and Riley did not want to come home and I had to resort to trickery to get them back in the truck and use some other people to lure them in for capture.  Once captured they both easily relented and dragged their paws back to the truck.  Frank and Taylor be-lined with no extra encouragement to the truck. 

Looking forward to more happy days with my buddies!!
