Icy

Last week was bitterly cold so we stayed away from the allotment. When the ground was really frosty, some of our walks were shortened. We could wrap up warmly but we were concerned that Ruby's feet could end up frostbitten. We wash her feet if she has been walking where there are lots of dogs. This was recommended by a vet. Dogs tend to lick their feet so washing helps cut down the chances of Ruby picking up some diseases. At this time of year, it also washes off any salt pickled up from gritted footpaths. Ruby is used to the routine so it only takes a minute or two and is worth the small amount of effort.

We went to Nostell at the end of the week when the ground wasn't as frosty but the lakes were iced over.




NB: I still can't comment on most Blogger blogs unless I am able to comment anonymously which many blogs have switched off. I'm not ignoring you but it seems that this is a widespread Blogger issue so if you use Blogger you may have fewer comments than usual.
If you are having the same issues commenting here you can comment on the full post which uses WordPress

    I realized today I haven't seen a post from you for some time. I started looking around and see that you are still posting, but it has disappeared from my feed. I missed you.

      I have been reading your blog Bonnie but it won't let me comment. I was so sad to read that you had lost Ella. I know exactly;y how bereft you will be feeling. They take a piece of our hearts with them when they go.
