So I went back to my room and decided to go with room service. The only items on the menu without meat were the salad and mozzarella sticks! (Oh, and I also got a brownie with ice cream)

Maddy doesn't have much fur so it doesn't take much cold to make her shiver uncontrollably. Meredith was stoked to have an excuse to begin experimenting with sewing dog clothes. All suited up!
