WHY IS BOB MUTTERING LIKE COLONEL KURTZ IN APOCALYPSE NOW?
Aside from scoring human food like bits of bagel or today’s blueberry I live in anticipation of the next walk. After suffering puppy quarantine for not being fully vaccinated for the last three months it is 3-5 walks a day in mushy slush, powdery snow, freezing cold and nasty wind chills. I have a double coat and when it is 15 below I have a chic Eddie Bauer coat I wear. A pup of fashion and no longer do I try to tear it off…in those days I was unsophisticated.
As we were preparing for our morning walk in temperatures of minus 13 and a wind chill of minus 23 while Bob was putting on his boots just like Colonel Walter E. Kurtz in the movie “Apocalypse Now” which I saw on the couch last month I heard “Oh the Horror! It is viciously cold out there Rory!”.
Not sure what it means as I have only walked in snow and cold my entire walking career?
Out we head and in 3 minutes I am puppy fighting with a 10-month-old Cavapoo! Its mistress complaining about the nasty cold apologized and moved on saying, “Gotta keep moving so I don’t freeze!”
Then three more dogs clustered in a group. I puppy fought with a 6-month-old 95-pound Bernese Mountain dog however Bob kept pulling me back saying one swat of his massive paw and you’ll be out cold. Seems Bob is a bit obsessed with cold?
We made it home and what a groan of suffering when Bob walked in the door. What’s a little cold. I hear about spring and summer from Bob and how walks will be long and much more exciting. You mean they can be more exciting than they are now!
Onward we go with the temperature minus 23 the coldest day of my life!
