Or do you do something when they come in to warm them up?
Sorry about the high-jack they look like they were having so much fun. Logan loves running around in the snow and smelling all the tracks made by bunnies and other dogs and him self. |
Don't apologize, it's a legitimate question and I don't mind at all.
I gauge the temp by going out with them without a coat, I figure if I'm too cold than so are they. I limit time outside depending on that. Before we head out for play I pile dog towels on the radiator and then toss the warm towels on the floor when we come back in. They love digging into the pile and I grab 'em one at a time and make sure everybody gets dried off well. They usually snuggle into beds and sofa cushions for a nice nap after a rip out in the snow. I could not imagine trying to get them all into booties and coats. It would be spring 'til I finished. I do recommend dressing them if you are doing the walk around the block thing and you've only got one or two that won't rip the stuff off as fast as you put it on.
