My black Lab loves the winter. Her knees give her problems and the summer months seem to make it worse. I think the cold keeps the inflamation down and theres some cushiony snow to run on instead of hard ground.
Today, however, we're heading down to the creek so she'll be happy to splash around down there and the icy water will do the same trick.
On the hockey note though, I find its kinda like quitting smoking. You just have to keep yourself really busy. If you spend all your time thinking about when your next hockey fix will be, time drags slow as molasses.
Also, you can reduce your time frame by using the Flames Preseason games as your start point. Doing that takes two weeks off your personal countdown. So, really, it's 45 days or 6.5 weeks. So, really, it's right around the corner!
