Yeah, we certainly can’t compete with the rest of the country this year! I’ve grown to love the cold, but I certainly wouldn’t expect to find it in Florida!
Interestingly, Eddie has never embraced the process of getting ready for a winter walk. He hides when he sees me going for the booties! But since I’ve always felt walks are important, I chase him down and dress him up. Once he has the clothes on, he stops hiding and walks toward the door and has a great time on the walk.
I do admit to going easier on him as he’s gotten older. He goes for walks 2-3 times a week at age 13. And the walks aren’t as long if it’s especially cold.
Oh, and dressing for the cold is a family affair! I still ride my fat tired bike five miles each way to work!
