Dog walk report. Clear and -1. Stars! Sam has us up and out at 4:45 this morning, but she’s initially uncertain she actually wants to walk. Eventually she decides and we’re on our way ❤️🐕

Dog walk report. 0 degrees C and breezy at about 5:45 this morning. Sam is looking pretty spry. Lots of neighbours appear to have spent their weekends dealing with leaves. Me too, but mowed most of them ❤️🐕

Dog walk report. Mostly clear and 0 degrees C at 4:45 this morning. A wee bit of frost on the grass and windshields. There’s a ring around the moon. Is there a name for that? ❤️🐕

Dog walk report. Clear and cool at 5 this morning. The app says 0 degrees C, but no frost spotted. Sam just spent nearly 10 minutes sniffing a pole and wagging her tail. So, happy Friday! ❤️🐕

Dog walk report. A few clouds, breezy and 4 degrees C at 4:30 this morning. Sam doesn’t understand time changes or baseball games that finish late. I see a nap in my future 😴❤️🐕

Dog walk report. Oddly warm at 10 degrees C at 5 this morning. Cloudy. Slight breeze. The calm before the Halloween 🎃 storm! Sam wants out, but isn’t interested in a long walk. We had a good one last night, so that’s okay ❤️🐕
