My little chihuahua/miniature Pincer mix hates this weather. Even with a sweater on, her feet freeze less than 30 seconds and she starts to limp then I rescue her. SHe has become an expert in the quick Number One and Number Two elimination when she gets outside. If its really cold, I'll carry here to her "pee" spot, she hates her booties, and she kicks off teh socks with little grippies that I bought for her.
The neighbour keeps his German Shephard outside in way too cold of conditions IMO. They have one of those plastic house things that farmers raise veal calves in, but the dog is always outside laying on a snow bank. -30°C isnt good IMO, I breath through my nose and it freezes.
Any of guys know about dogs or German Shepards? How cold is too cold?
Up here in Ontario we had teh coldest Feb. in 35 years. And in mid Feb it was the 5th time since 1973 that the Great Lakes were more than 80% frozen over.
Go to this site and scroll down to the bottom and it has a time lapse of the past week or so. It looks like the Great Lakes are more than 80% covered right now. You know its cold when Lake Superior is frozen solid.
Sorry folks, but climate change is a fact. Freeze us out in the Winter and make some parts of the USA unliveable in the Summer.
Britain has classified Global Warming as a National Security threat.

Hog,
The US military and insurance companies now take Climate Change into consideration as part of their strategic planning and developing actuarial tables.
The lack of ice in the North Pole is a threat to the Panama Canal as a route to the Pacific year round.
