The flannel sheets are on our bed, the swamp cooler put to bed for the winter, the dog’s heated water bowl has been plugged in to keep their water from freezing, and today we started working on winterizing their dog house.  I pulled all the blankets and dog beds out into the yard, shook them out and ran the blankets through the washer.   The final step will be to replace the plastic flap doors that help keep out the cold and wet.

Buddy on alert!

Dirty-faced Nina!
