Christ on a bike! It's cold out there!
Just got back from walking Pilau. Only went down to the playing fields (didn;t do the big country walk up the hills today). Was out less than 20 minutes, and my feet were like blocks of ice. Poor Pilau was up to his belly in it at some point of the walk. Got halfway back and he started limping, then stopped and lifted his front paw up, with it quivering. Kept moving it up and down . Felt inside his pads and there were tightly compacted hard balls of ice in there. managed to get him back home with some coaxing and melted them off in a bowl of tepid water.
Was going to go back out to the shop and buy more milk, but I think I'll just eke out what I've got. It's just too cold, even with hat and scarf.
