What do you mean by "temperatures are just too brutal for a walk?" The temperature here the day I posted was in single digits Farenheit. With the wind chill, I don't even want to think about how it felt! :shock: Also look at the exercising the mind thread. Yes, I did that and did a search...

Um, okay, I thought it was a reasonable question. I guess I'll work it out myself.

cold weather

What does one do to exercise a dog when the temperatures are just too brutal for a walk? My newly adopted miniature poodle doesn't seem to know about playing with toys (I'd toss her ball down the hall as long as she wants me to, but she just isn't interested). We did a short walk yesterday afternoon...

Coco

I didn't want to jinx the process so I haven't said anything about our potential adoptee, but today we picked her up and she's all ours. :) I have to wonder about her previous owners--she's five years old and doesn't even know her name, let alone any (and I mean any) basic commands, but she's ours n...

We've been dogless for over five years because our work hours were too long to properly care for a dog, but we hope to be adding one very soon. At the moment we have two former feral cats who rule...
