[nagdu] Cold weather

[Doug Parisian]

Trust me, they also adapt quite quickly; it's only when you start hitting 
temperatures like minus 30 Fahrenheit you might start to worry a little.  I 
do give anyone full credit who has concerns about their dogs who, believe it 
or not, also have feelings of discomfort in extreme conditions.  The worst 
part about severe cold is when the dog has to stand still for a period of 
time, especially on bare concrete.  A covering of snow is actually better 
protection in such conditions.

Doug: it's so cold in Winnipeg that even a dog's bark freezes until spring.

: I'm more worried about you than Chase.  Stay inside.  (grin)

: You are doing all the right things.  Seriously, stay inside as much as 
possible.  These dogs are tougher than we give them credit for being.

: My guide, Chase, and I are headed to Milwaukee soon.  We live in the 
moderate climate of the San Francisco Bay Area.  I see highs in MKE ranging 
around thirty degrees F. What do I need to do to help Chase cope with the 
cold?  He --of course -- has a fur coat, but I keep it farily short.  He has 
a rain coat, but I don't know how much warmth it would provide.  He has 
shoes.

: Thanks for your advice.
