Part 3/8:
Throughout the day, the narrator shares insights into the daily routines of caring for his animals and maintaining his property. He mentions how the dogs have figured out which doghouses are most insulated, often seeking warmth together during the cold snap. His older dog, Rooster, and others seem unbothered by the icy weather, patrolling throughout the storm.
The house dog, Brewster, tends to wake up and eat late at night or after the owner goes to bed, a quirky but common habit. The owner prepares meals for the dogs, often mixing canned food with dry kibble, sometimes warming it with hot water to encourage eating in the cold. Brewster's preference for prime rib scraps highlights the care and indulgence that go into keeping his dogs healthy and happy.
