More snow...more cold


So, we received another few inches yesterday, followed by a 36 degree drop in temp and it is still going down. It is also snowing right now...though the wind is blowing so hard it's hard to tell what's new, and what's blowing from yesterday.
Everett has been doing alright--very calm, maybe too calm? It is so hard to tell what's affecting her--is it the cold? Is she overtired, because I've been playing with her too much? Is she just feeling off, because she is sick? I wish she could tell me....
We walk every day, but only as far as she wants to go. If it isn't far enough for Ansel, we drop off Eve and go out again. And last night was the first night that she did not wake me up to go outside every so often. I flew out of bed in the wee hours, thinking something had happened to her, but she was sound asleep, on her bed. And this morning, with the actual temp AND the windchill both below zero, she gave me the puppy stance, and did a circuit around the yard with me just once.
Two days until her next treatment--her first time having the vaccine and radiation the same day. The yucky smell from her mouth has not been worse, but it has also not gone away. There's no more obvious blood coming from her moth, and she chews her bone on both sides of her jaw--she wouldn't do that if it hurt, right?
