Oh my goodness, Terri, that is insanely cold!!! Your poor dog! I stepped outside for a moment and it's cold here too, 0° right now with the wind chill making it -25°.
Our septic tank lateral (sp?) froze yesterday and the guys can't come out to fix it until the temperature gets to 20°. So we are eating off disposable dishes and limiting bathroom trips. I'm glad I haven't potty trained my two year old yet! The septic guy did say the waste won't all come back up the house pipes, but rather all over the ground outside. That I'm glad for!
