This morning it was -25C again when we got up.
Last week, when it dipped to -25C and I let Boucle out for his morning wake up call, he had his sweater and coat, but ears were bare. After 3 minutes outside, his ears were icy cold, and a half hour later the tips were very hot.
So….this morning, I gently wrapped sweetie-pie’s head and ears in a make shift woolen head scarf. He had no idea at this point what was happening. He stayed in this position, with this look, tail down, until I coaxed him to move with me towards the back patio doors….poor Boucle. But….once he started moving and realized he was ok….he was happy and completely back to normal….bounding down the stairs and around the backyard.
Three minutes outside…came inside….and his ears were nice and toasty and warm…..
A new experience for sweetie-pie…….. 🙂
As silly as it may look why shouldn’t we care as much for our dogs as we do for ourselves. It has been bitter cold and I am sure more dogs would benefit from a scarf too.
Absolutely Mary. At -25C, the ears will freeze. Why, even horses, as large as they are, wear blankets in winter:)
