Jay Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 It's brutally cold this morning! The air temp is around -5F with a wind chill near -20. Poor pooches are not getting a walk this morning but I don't think they mind. While they usually beg to go outside and don't want to come inside even they did their business and right back in!

Chula Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 They look cozy! It was about 20 and windy this morning and I sooooo didn't feel like taking her for a walk. She was too rowdy though, so we went on a power walk. Same distance as our hour walk, but we did it in 30 minutes. My face was frozen!

Jay Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Our high today isn't even supposed to be 20 degrees! The other morning the temp was 5 outside and I sucked it up and went for a 30 minute walk, but I couldn't bring myself to disturb them this morning And Nikko is blowing his coat too...so strange!

Elyse Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 awh...how cute! That's like how Suka acts during cold weather (he'll even hold his bladder so he doesn't have to go outside as often), although "cold" for him is anything below 10 C.

CARRINGTON Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I wish my dog would stay in the house but no he wants to go outside and as soon as he hits the nice cool air he is running around like a nut ball. There was some snow on the ground and I thought we would never get him back inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 That's how they are usually...but this morning I think was a little too cold, since it was like -5 (-21C)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 With Avalanche I can say that I understand, he doesn't have the think Husky coat - when he "blows" there isn't much there. All I have to do when it's chilly out is turn on the gas fire and he's got himself stretched out in front of it ... it's too hot for me to stand where he's laying but he's just soaking it up! 'course this is the idiot that lays out in the drive when it's 110f and blazing!! Sasha goes out for a while but I think she gets lonely 'cause neither Avalanche nor I are gonna spend much time out at 0-10c with a 15mph wind!!

sammybeans Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 It's been really cold here as well and Champ refuses to stay outside too long. It was dangerously cold last as the wind chill was getting us down to -30F (-34.4C) and we've probably got three inches of snow on the ground as well. He loves the snow but when I put him out on his tether he does his business and demands to come back in once he's done because of how cold it is outside. He's even got his nice thick coat and he's like 'nope, too cold' and asks to come back in. Needless to say he hasn't gotten a walk lately because it's too cold for me to go out, and I'll let him stay out on his tether as long as he wants but he's only been staying out for maybe ten minutes max.

MarkoMKD Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 And i was going to ask if there is any possibility to get cold for them..So the answer will be yes. Anyway the winter here gets -15 degrees (celsius),in the worst mornings.Hope it won't be too cold for her. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm sure some of it is what they are used to. Obviously the dogs that run the Iditarod are in freezing temperatures. But I assume they are acclimated to such temperatures before being subjected to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innocenti Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I`m sure i read /heard that husky`s can stand temperatures of -30 before they feel the cold .... obviously not our pampered pooches tho ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
