Keeping the dogs sane when it is too cold for them to hang outside

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the time this cold snap ends here in Minnesota we will have had 10 days where the weather has barely broken above zero and if I just let the dogs hang out inside with us all day for the duration all of us will get on each other’s nerves. So to keep us all from going goofy I put them in their neoprene vests and dog booties and take them for their walks. The booties are mostly to keep their feet dry. The city puts chemicals on the streets to try to keep them clear and this causes the snow and ice to melt and when it gets on their paws it freezes later and causes issues.
