Yeah, it's pretty cold. Today was 35 F when I got up, which was quite a shock. I know it's a lot colder and a lot worse in other places and I guess I'm just used to it so it doesn't seem so bad. I just don't like the constant gray skies or if it's 'wet' and icky. Damp and cold is no fun.
Hmmm, ok this is actually really far back, but I loved this dog. For whatever (insane) reason my parents got a Great Pyrenees as our first family dog when I was like 5. She was HUGE! She was so much bigger than me it was crazy. But she was the sweetest dog so temperment was golden and she was awesome. We got her when she was 4 years old and we actually only had her for about 4 months because we found out she had an intestinal disease that would require medication for the rest of her life and there was no way we could afford that at the time (so I'm told, and she was a rescue, and we were moving into a new house..). We had her during the winter and this crazy mammoth of a dog loved snow. My dad would let her outside from the back door, she's go psycho outside, rolling around and going crazy, then literally run back inside through the whole house (through the back room, kitchen, living room...etc.) and then back outside. She totally knocked me down once on one of her runs through.
I think a lot of my favorite memories are definitly animal related. They've always been a really big thing in my life (I haven't had many at all, but they're really important to me). Other than animals, my friend and I used to play with stuffed animals until we were like in middle school! We would divide them up and have crazy, drama-filled plots of romance and betrayal and very stereotypical things; it was really great!
