Hey y'all...had a GREAT TIME yesterday in the first real decent snow of the season...Jenna faithfully pulled all the neighbor kids on their sleds down the slick and snowy streets of this little town, while Phoenix frolicked and sniffed and snorted in the snowdrifts and we all got cold hands, red cheeks, and windblown hairdos. It was great fun. And I knew that I was doing OK by my dogs, cuz they've been out for their daily walking and exercise nearly every day....so there is no question that they can't take a bit of cold and a bit of playing in the snow without harm to their health.
This is just a reminder to all of you who enjoy the winter time outdoors with your dogs that you also need to be aware that the extra stress on their bodies if THEY ARE NOT USED TO THE COLD WEATHER will be damaging to them !! So take care and make sure that they have not been sitting inside all winter long and curled up on the couch...give them plenty of exercise. Besides, it's better for you, too!
