Luckily there were no injuries as I\u2019m now responsible for their first aid &#8211; poor wee things! I have been out for some brisk walks in the frost with the dogs but standing on the sidelines with sub zero temperatures makes me glad that I paused my outdoor swimming until March.

He\u2019s nearly 15 and although he scoffs his food every night, only has one eye ( and the other is pretty blind) and is as deaf as post, he still loves a walk. Now, though, he paces himself and spends a while longer than before at the interesting smells. He\u2019s a good ol boy but both my dogs were wont to run and run and run off quite often. It was interesting when we attached the lead from one to the other, how the young one, Toby, slowed right down to Jamie\u2019s speed. Bless! The animals all seem to be snuggled down for the winter months and are clearly under great stress in our house (as this picture of Toby and Ruby, one of our cats, taking advantage of some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/cozee-home\/home-&amp;-kitchen\/_\/N-1z1410aZlfnu\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cozee Home<\/a> demonstrates!)<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-112635\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Dog-and-cat-asleep-on-a-blanket.png\" alt=\"Cat and dog asleep on a blanket\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Dog-and-cat-asleep-on-a-blanket.png 1800w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Dog-and-cat-asleep-on-a-blanket-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Dog-and-cat-asleep-on-a-blanket-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Dog-and-cat-asleep-on-a-blanket-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Dog-and-cat-asleep-on-a-blanket-1536x853.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/>\n<p>Last week I really enjoyed getting back to normal at work.
