Brrrr.....

It's getting cold outside. I can feel it in my bones. I was born in California and it's right about this time of year that I'd like to head on back for a few months. Summer can get a little hot what with my coat of black hair under the sun, but man I'd like to head down there now.

But really, we have it pretty good in Sidney. Sure it gets a little cold but when it comes to Canada we certainly tip the scales for one of the warmest places! For example, did you know that up in Prince George it is snowing (more like a blizzard) and fifteen degrees below zero? Here we are sitting at a balmy 10 degrees and the sun is shining too - and it's already mid-November! Some places in BC only get three months of the year that don't have SNOW. That is pretty extreme, and I think about some of my other canine companions who don't have the luxury of a nice thick black lab's coat, nor a healthy layer of muffin fat to protect themselves. Brrr.... you can always come and cuddle up with me!

And what about those dogs that live waaaay up north and have to mush through snow for their jobs?? Have you heard about these dogs? I thought it was a joke the first time that I found out - I mean, that is so crazy that some dogs would actually consent to DO that. I thought I had a pretty cushy job here at the hotel, but what these poor guys have to do makes my job not even seem like work at all. (I hope my bosses aren't reading this - I was going to ask for a raise soon!)

I hope everyone has been supporting the Movember cause and buying up those cheesecakes and cookies to do their part! Now it's time for me to warm up by the fire...
