I like cold weather, but the sudden drop in temperature from yesterday, along with the blustery wind, made being outside today a little jarring. It didn't help that I didn't bundle up as I should have when I took Luck for her afternoon walk, and we weren't far from the house when I had to fight the urge to turn around and head home.
I didn't, but I did amend the route I had planned, and we walked instead through the small shopping area close to our home. Seeing the holiday decoration in progress was a good distraction. When Lucy put on the brakes to visit the drugstore, an establishment she frequents with Heidi, I shrugged, enjoying the warm blast of air when the automatic doors opened.
We trolled the aisles for a few minutes until Lucy stopped short at a display of dog toys, nosing one that had little squeaky stuffed pieces of fried chicken in a bucket. I shrugged again, and off we went to the register.
Back outside, the cold didn't seem quite as onerous as it had before, and I detached the toys from their cardboard, gave each one a squeak, and handed them to Lucy, who carried them all the way home.
