Cold Weather

[Tamara & Giada]

Who is ready for the cold weather, and how do you manage to walk/exercise your Dood in Winter?

not me that's for sure lol, I'm going to buy Murphy those muttluks dog boots for him so his pads won't freeze and get salt in them, has anyone ever used them? Last winter we ran around in our backyard for exercise, this year we will go for a walk if it's not to cold out...

Great question Tamara.......

[Tamara & Giada]

Yes, I think we will do most of our exercise in the back yard as well. I am going to try to force my self on a walk at least once a week....we'll see. I am a fair weather friend :)

Th boots....I might try those as well.

It depends alot on whether you are on country roads with salted areas. I myself have a tread mill Harlee goes on when is raining hard. He loves the elements snow etc. I also have Doggy Boots if is salty. Yes I have and they work. Just make sure they are tightened enough or they will run out of them. Then you back track:-)

We try going to the local parks as well as Sleepy Hollow State Park to let the dogs run. In the snow, we cross country ski or snowshoe. I have trouble with snowballs on Ellie's feet and have a hard time keeping boots on her but we do our best.

Snowshoes, that's what I told my husband I wanted to hike in the woods with Giada!! I would love to get some:)

Bring on the Cold!!! Doodles love the snow if you don't have a fenced in yard you need to invest in some snow pants and boots. Winter is Murphy's favorite time of year he would live outside in the snow if I let him. Prepare for the snow balls on the feet and legs. City parks are pretty good about keeping paths plowed for easy walking, we do more outings to the pet store in the winter....it's some place to go with the dood. We should start an indoor playground for doodles for the winter months...hmmm.
