Dog sitting

We dog-sat this weekend. My aunt and uncle's dog Timber stayed with us. He is a gigantic Akita who is terrifying to look at and has a very intimidating bark but is the biggest wimp dog I have ever seen. He is deathly afraid of feet, come anywhere near him with yours and he freaks out. He was also beaten up by a much smaller dog down the street last time he was here so he is afraid to be outside alone. He also is scared of cats. We have two. Shakespeare is a huge orange tabby who is afraid of people. He hides unless he knows that just Matt and I are home. Oberon is just a kitten who is very friendly but apparently does not like dogs. I took this picture and thought of Fawn because I know how much she loves cats, especially when they look like this.

It's freakin cold!

It seems like I just posted about how hot it is here. Now it is so cold. It was 31 degrees this afternoon and it snowed all day. And yes it did stick. It is supposed to be below freezing tomorrow and snow some more. That will certainly make the Tiger's game interesting tomorrow night. Those Californians won't know how to play baseball in the snow. We decided to turn on the heat on for the first time. It was 55 degrees in the house. That doesn't feel very warm when it is snowing. My pumpkins are outside in my car. But I covered them with a sweatshirt to keep warm tonight.
