| Who else walks their Yorkie in this bitter cold? Oh my god! It is soooooooooo cold out(13degrees) and I have to walk Buddy four times a day for at least 15-20mins and he could care less if it's so cold. I can't stand it. This morning I couldn't breath and he's sniffing around for the right place to pee Please spring come soon. I don't know how much more I can take of this bitter cold! I envy those of you who use pee-pads |

| well it is -21 (Celsius) (-5 F) here and we say that is just TOO cold- Layla hates walking anyways... i'm hoping it will warm up to around -8 shortly so we can go for a much needed walk! |

| It's 22 degrees in New Jersey right now. I don't use pee pads, but I have a fenced in yard. I still have to carry Matilda out because she's too tiny to get down the back steps. She starts shivering as soon as I pick her up to go outside - she knows she's going to be cold. Once out there they love to run around. They also go for a walk once or twice a day. I can't wait for Spring either.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Don't you just hate that mess. Zoey will do the same thing. Toby on the other hand gets out and gets down to business...whether it's cold or hot. Although, I don't do the long walks other than summer or spring. When it's cold or nasty outside it's a quick run tothe back or to the front to do their business.

| I stayed at my daughter's house over the weekend due to another snow storm, which turned out not to be too bad and she has a fenced in yard. It was prue joy to open the slider and let Bud out. He slid down the icy steps with joy running around, free, on the ice and snow. Nutty dog that he is. I miss that freedom of not walking since I sold our house and moved into a condo. Buddy belongs up in Alaska with Mike and his gang. He would fit right in! |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Poor you....lol. Buddy has the girth to enjoy the cold. The worst part of this cold is the black ice that appears when you least expect it. I almost went butt up last night walking the pooches.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Is 60 degrees considered bitter cold? Seriously, I don't know how you guys do it.

| NO walks here! Wrigley doesn't even like to step foot outside, but does because she wants to see what her sisters are up to, but she wants to be picked up and held the whole time! The other two do their business and come back, they like the nice warm house!

| It is going to be in the teens in the morning here Friday and Saturday. Very unusual for Georgia. Thankfully I bought Bax a jacket at Target. He hates cold weather so he will do his business and be ready to go back in but I'm dreading it. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Carol I remember you telling me about that one. LOL..girl I ain't laughing at ya...laughing with ya. I used to have the yard sectioned and fenced when I had my lulu so it was easy to just open the back door and let her out to do her business. But when she had found that small hole and gotten out and was hit by the car the anger took me. Stupid me in a rage kicked and hacked down two sides of the fence...so alas the yard is not fully fenced anymore. I wouldn't have trusted it anyhow being as Toby and Zoey are the same size she was. So either way I would still be out walking in the cold. I do miss that freedom of opening the door and telling her to go potty and not having to step out in the yard.

LOL maybe to you it is Stick your head in the freezer for about 5mins and then you can REALLY feel what cold is. Keep warm for all of us who are experiencing the bitter cold of winter. | |
