Dogs' bowl is frozen to the porch.

They're really confused about this. Earlier Wan-chan was shoving it with her nose, looking up at me sadly, and shoving it again, to make sure I was paying attention. She wants to move her bowl around while she's eating like usual. Eating cannot be a game if the bowl does not move.

No way, young lady. I am not pouring boiling water on that bowl, or whatever you want me to do. It is 22 F out and you are a tiny, tiny dog with no muscle mass, you are going to eat indoors and from a non-frozen receptacle.

The neighbors actually have Becquerel inside this morning. If they hadn't, I might have gone over to passive aggressively offer to keep him for the day.

No tie big white magic space doge to zip line. Will howl, lots.

While it's unusually cold out, you could also consider calling the Humane Society or SPCA. My dogs are accustomed to cold winters, but the current storm is making even them want to come inside as soon as they've done whatever it was they went out to do. The built-in fur coat's nice, but even that doesn't help after a point.
