Has it gotten cold down your way, Mimi? How's sweet Diana doing?
Meanwhile, in (completely ignored) California, Gov Brown is about to officially "declare a drought" (actually, it was Mother Nature who did that :-( ).
Last night the temp was 20°. Diana is in the house and well-protected from the cold. Today will be warmer than the past two days. I'm sick of winter already.
It was so cold here that my heat pump went south; -3 below. While I and the wee kitties were indoors, it was a bit nippy for almost 24 hours. All the heating and cooling repair businesses are working almost 24/7 right now. What a baby I have become. I can remember relentless days of below zero temps in Colorado and enduring them without a qualm and never missing work unless the roads were closed. Now I think real hell is any day that the temps are below freezing. Give me toasty warm--that's heaven.
The workmen finished installing the new heat pump yesterday, and now the temperature is rising, but I'm sure we will have more cold weather. At least we have a heater in the bathroom, so we did not have to freeze while showering.
Love the photo - but the message is true for all pets.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Ann.
DeleteAw!

DeleteSorry to hear that you had to replace the entire heat pump. Mine only needed a little electrical work and got fixed within 24 hours.
DeleteBonnie, the heat pump was old, and we were not surprised that we needed a replacement. We were surprised at how much the new one cost.
