Woohoo! I'm NOT a bad dad! Can I get a Hallelujah? I'll settle for about 50 apologies!
LOL, thanks YorkieRose for putting some perspective on it. I think most of us see the single layer of fur and think they shouldn't go out at all without arctic attire. But I was stunned at how well he stood up to the cold. He literally did not want to come in the house. He knew I was upset and wanted to pick him up, so he thought we were playing our regular game. It took me a couple minutes to get him to go in the house.
Your story about Gus is amazing!
