The dogs are different in the bitter cold (except for Zinnia, who loves it). They cluster together go to sleep early, and barely move throughout the night.
It warms me to see them so safe and comfortable – and warm. Even Fate, the hardy and busy border collie, loves to settle in by the woodstove. For that matter, so do I.
You caught an interesting perspective in this photo… Bud looks almost the same size as fate!
