It finally got warm enough where mine actually want to go out for more than 30 seconds.

How cold was it where you are? The colder it gets, the more excited our dog is.

Today she slipped on some unsupported ice slabs (the creek had frozen at flood, and then the water dropped down again.)

I let her self-rescue. Five reasons why you let a dog self-rescue from the ice: She’s lighter than you. She has four feet. Her feet have claws. She has fur. She’ll come back and you won’t.

She wasn’t in danger because the water wasn’t a foot deep, but she sure was funny. And she wouldn’t cross the creek with me after that for love or treats.

It’s been so cold here I can’t get this drafty 300 year old log house to stay warm.

The dogs are wearing their outside coats inside.

The first couple of hours were kinda pitiful because they all thought they were going to the doggy toy store.

Seven, being the contrarian, keeps ripping her Velcro straps open and running around ‘nude’.

I think she has a better tolerance for chilliness.

Crazy things.

Poor dog...glad it’s okay.
