OUT IN THE COLD WITH BIG DOG...

The stars were spectacular when Big Dog and I walked out-of-doors this morning at 4.

It was chilly, and Big Dog did his duty, then hurried back to the warmth of his bed.

I took my time with the stars, and I silently thanked my dog for arranging for me to be present at the right time to see such things. 

Though truthfully at such early hours, when I leave my warm bed to accompany my dog to the cold world outside, I am never sure what I'll see and HOW I'll feel... until I am actually OUT THERE!
