Dog In Snow

It's cold out, guys. Like, really, really cold out. We're never gonna get our pipes to unfreeze. I walked to the bank today to send our rent money to our landlady, and it occurred to me that we must be renting the most expensive non-plumbed property in all of Armenia. I really, really hope we don't have to wait until the weather warms up in Spring to get our water back. If we do, I want to renegotiate our rent, but that's definitely not something that you do here. I worry that if we try to bring it up, we'll just get evicted, and then we'll be out in the cold, with the dogs, with no where to go. It makes me realize just how lucky Sam and I were to have the family support structures in place back home that we did. It makes me feel a new sense of empathy for folks back home who live without that safety net.

Anyway, enough doom and gloom. Here's a dog (not ours), hanging out in the snow:
