| ARGGGHHHH my yorkie likes the cold too much So today it's like 34 degrees. Big deal right? But the 20 MPH wind makes it feel really cold. So Cookie asks out to poop so I take her outside. So instead of pooping she goes and grabs a pecan off the ground and starts cracking and eating it. I tell her "bring your pecan inside Cookie". "No, I'm eating it right out here Chris!" she says. So after she is done with it she goes and makes a poop so the trip isn't a wasted one, and as we're walking inside right before the door she makes a mad dash and finds a second pecan. ARGGGH, I had to go run after and catch my yorkie to bring her in, and it's not easy because she's fast! On the plus side, I got a nice pecan out of it. New rule: when the wind chill is below 25 I'm taking Cookie out on a leash.

| Cold weather doesn't stop Dutch either. It doesn't matter what the weather is as long as she is outside. |

| We have been having single digit and subzero weather here. It is just too cold for Gracie. Other people put regular salt out to melt ice and that is really painful for a dog's feet so we are not getting our walks in for the past few weeks. Of course no one shovels the trails in the woods so we are having to resort to indoor fetch for exercise. Thank God there is only about one more month left of this horrendous winter! |

| We don't have weather problems here in SoCa but aren't nuts poison to dogs?

| A lot of nuts are poison, especially macademias. Pecans are really bad for dogs when they're moldy, but when fresh they're more in the mildly bad category, causing gastrointestinal upset when a few are eaten (it does the same to me when I eat a bunch of them). I do comb my yard for them to throw them out, but squirrels bring them into my yard from my neighbors' and it's impossible to keep them out of my yard 100%. So when she finds one I'll let her have half it's decent or throw it away if it isn't, but never more than one every couple of days. If I just threw them all out then she'd run off with all of them, and I'd have a really hard time keeping her away from the rotten ones all black inside that are the bigger danger.

| We live in Syracuse NY and we have broken all the records for low temps this February. It has been in the negative single digits with wind chill temps in the negative double digits for over a week and we have over 4 feet of snow. MY Duncan LOVES this weather! He is 18 weeks old so I had to train him in it. He goes outside and runs all over the place and jumps up the snow mountains and smooshes his face in the snow. I just got another yorkie 2 weeks ago, Little Miss Elliot, and at first she was a bit leery but she is now running all over and burrowing herself in the snow. It is hard to get them inside except when the wind is blowing really badly. They are just two loving snow bunnies |
