While Rion and Lightning have been sharing dog beds for a while now, this was the first time I ever saw them touching while they did so.

At 70F with no humidity I thought it was a lovely day for a walk. Rion, with his tarnished silver coat, didn’t agree: “it’s okay, Mom. I’ll wait here until sunset.”  (We have new (to us) phones!  With cameras! And Bluetooth!)

I wrapped Orion in the blanket because I was feeling cold. He didn’t seem to mind.

Orion had so much snow clumped to his feet and legs that I put him in a tub of warm water to dissolve it.
