Cold Weather

It has been very cold her the last few days and Cooper has decided that he doesn't want to go outside. As long it is not pouring rain, his preschool teacher has the kids outside. Cooper hasn't been wanting to go outside at preschool, doesn't want to take the dogs for a walk or play in the backyard because of the frigid temperatures. Today, I was able to get him outside because Larkin and I and the dogs were all outside. This is the outfit he wore, I love it! He's wearing a hat I knitted, duck boots that are torn, his jammies and a Carhart jacket (like Mama's)! He played outside for a half hour and was done.




Shortly after coming inside we all took Luke for a walk. Since Luke is still a puppy and likes to pull on the leash I am trying to take Riley and Luke on separate walks so I can really work with Luke. I think he picked up some of Riley's herding instincts because he hates when the kids are too far away, he will whine. He is really smart and food motivated, he just needs reminders and practice. The kids and Luke ran around the field and then we walked home. Before dinner Cooper and I took Riley on her walk, the only way to get Cooper to agree was to push him in the stroller. I put a blanket around him and off we went.
