Armed and ready for battle

Tomorrow morning we'll leave to go to the husband's family's ranch in Wyoming for Christmas. They have a place not far from Yellowstone. Yeah, it's gorgeous. But it's also C.O.L.D.

Last year it was the kind of cold where the snow burns your bare skin. Sadie would walk a few feet in it and then stop, lifting up alternating paws that hurt from the cold. So, we're better prepared this year with a body suit from Ruffwear and super dooper hunting dog booties from Cabelas.

I know she looks like she doesn't like it. Like she's embarassed. Like she knows that the tough Wyoming dogs will make fun of her.



But at least I'll feel better knowing that she's staying warm when she's with us on our wood cutting adventures to gather firewood.



And at a minimum, we'll all get a good chuckle out of the ordeal. Well, all of us but Sadie...
