[nagdu] really cold was wearing a harness.

Julie,

Go online to Neo-Paws International. I think they have some cold weather gear for dogs. I use their shoes but in Florida and Puerto Rico no need for cold weather gear.

My next adjustment is to add a piece that will go between her front legs and fasten around her middle.  that should keep her warm underneath and hold the entire coat closer to her body, helping when the wind blows so hard.

It went from being in the 50's and 60's to the teens and crazy wind with snow literally overnight.  I'm hoping she just needs some time to get used to the cold.   Meghan suggested the roughwear boots, instead of the Paws boots that I have.
