My dogs are really struggling with the cold. When they go outside they might have a minute or two to "do their business" before paws start hurting, then freezing. That means by the time they've sniffed the air, taken stock of their surroundings, and decided to move...it's already time to go in. My Yorkie, Tucker, already has some issues with going in the house and this weather isn't helping that AT ALL. My cavachon Cooper is finally figuring out he needs to hurry once he gets outside, but I just feel bad for them both! They have boots and coats, and they help a little but sometimes fall off, etc. I HOPE IT JUST WARMS UP SOON!! 30 degrees will feel pawsatively balmy!
