Just two weeks from today, we will be on the road home. Couldn't be soon enough for me, what with 32 degree weather, falling dogs and what have you.
This place is damn cold tonight -- nothing in the walls to keep the cold out. I am sitting here wrapped in a blanket with the electric heater on the desk beside me and have to keep putting my feet in front of the heater to keep them warm!
Ami took an accidental dip in the freezing water. She can't see on one side and got too close to the rivers edge. And no matter how many times I tell Nick she is afraid of him and his cane-- he pointed it at her and then up hill. Only she backed up to avoid the cane and into the river she rolled.
I was panicked but Ami just swam to the shallows and waited for me to wade out and get her. I wrapped her in my big heavy coat and between Nick and I holding the ends, got her back to the house in quick time. She only weighs 13 pounds but when her hair is soaking wet, she is heavy.
She seems okay now that she is warm and dry.
I will be glad to leave this apartment for another reason. Ami is lame in both hind legs and is having to be carried upstairs.
Well, just think, two weeks from tonight, we should be approaching Mobile AL where it is 70 degrees -- wouldn't the public be entertained as we tossed our long underwear out the window of the truck? Followed by sweat suit, winter jacket, hat and gloves and scarf? Things we have to have on as we pack the truck and leave here!
