I'm going up to buy some little boots for her in a little while, because when I brought her in this morning after her morning walk around the yard with me (it was about 18 degrees out), there were ice crystals in her feet after only a couple of minutes! (I shoveled her a little circle path around the yard--she was so cute on her path!)
Am I crazy to worry about her feet and get the boots? I can't imagine it's safe for her to be out on that cold of ground without them, but maybe it is. Pam in Missouri

Wow, it's a lot colder where you are . Have you ever seen a YouTube video of a yorkie wearing boots for the first few times? You might want to check it out . That being said..I would think any extended time outdoors would not be good for her. Sophie doesn't (won't) wear boots so if it were that cold I would only let her out to quickly do her business. If the temps are in the mid to upper 20's she still gets her short walk everyday to keep her from getting cabin fever. She loves it !
