January 7, 2010: Day 36, Winston is less sore

So it's REALLY (ok, for us anyway) cold today.  When I woke up it was -11F and windy, so it was pretty ugly outside when we went for a potty break.  Winston seemed pretty uncomfortable on his leg in that cold, and I don't blame him.  Newly healed tissue, healing bone, and metal plates and screws aren't much fun in the cold.  We didn't go out again until about 10am when it had warmed up to about 5 degrees and the wind had died down.  We did a 5 minute walk all bundled in our coats.  When out walking today and around the house, Winston seems more comfortable on his leg than he was yesterday, so we did a 10 minute walk at midday and then another quick 5 minute walk at 3pm.  Our only outings after that were potty breaks in the yard.
