This week’s theme is *hard* for me. Living in South Texas affords little opportunities for showcasing anything cold, and the impending Christmas holidays has sucked up any speck of free time for a creative shoot. So today’s image is just for me, one of those little snippets of life that will be a cherished memory – a little slice of what’s going on around the house.
In our house, though, there is one sure sign that the temperatures have dipped at night: when Jack asks to let Scout in to sleep. She has terrible hip issues and she has such a hard time moving after a cold night outside. When it is cold, Jack lets her in and she marches straight to the boys’ room, gets settled on Jack’s bed, and doesn’t move again until the morning, except to snuggle up to her warm human.
If it is really cold, Jack makes sure she is warm enough by letting Scout use his blanket he made in elementary school.
Terrible picture, but, ah, the memory of my baby and his dog…..
To see how the other talented photographers took “cold,” head to the creative Debbie of De.Light Photography.

This is so sweet. I have a senior dog here right now (golden mix) and she also has hip problems in this cold weather.... I'm feeling kind of guilty now that none of us let her sleep in the bed with us. MAYBE TONIGHT!!!! :D
This photo is one of my top favorites from this week.
