I can say we just had a blizzard and have been getting one to two storms a week. Oakley has a Hurrta coat, a snood which he sometimes uses as a neck warmer and boots used for wet snow or extremely cold weather. Despite that his paw pads started bleeding yesterday mid walk…he really can't handle the constant snow,ice,cold and ice melt..
I think you should be able to bring your pup out; just keep an eye on any signs of hard shivering or motionless (not wanting to move), lifting up of one foot at a time and staring at you. All those can be signs of cold uncomfortability. Congrats on your new pup and I do agree to use caution around dogs you aren't familiar with, but also keep in mind socialization is super important as well. Try for positive experiences with dogs at a safe distance and try to get in up close experiences with dogs whose medical history and owner reliability are there
What my B did while I was at work on Friday
-
I keep my Bs corralled in the kitchen (it's a big one) with all dangers removed, just a crate, a couple of rugs and the a whole bunch of toys. Should be enough to keep a couple of Bs busy - right? :rolleyes: NOT!! When I got home I found my dog's crate crammed with Tupperware:p It was hilarious!! Someone had left the plasticware cabinet open just a tiny bit and she decided she needed some food storage items. Maybe she's going to start stashing food away for the winter.
I have a picture of the crate and will post it when I figure out how. -
thanks! i needed a laugh.
-
My mental picture is of the crate absolutely crammed to the gills with the tupperware
-
Well we are getting near fall, I suppose its time to stock up for the long winter months.
-
Lol. Aren't they just the best dogs!
-
Lycia is a sucker for tupperware… when I'm loading or unloading the dishwasher, I have to be extra aware or I'll go back in my room and find eaten tupperware treasures.
-
Personally EL D doesn't so much go for the tupperware style - he prefers that hard plastic that batteries and things are packaged in. I can't ever get those packages open so I just give the whole thing to EL D and he rips it apart in no time

Can't wait to see the picture!
