It is crazy cold here at the DogDaz Zoo. We received about 10″ of snow and then 2″ more and then it all froze.
Bearnard had never seen snow before and was not sure what to do with it, especially, where to go potty. It took about a week before he realized he could follow me under the pine trees and there was less snow there. The snow is taller than us.

Beary hates wearing sweaters and coats (he is such a boy!). Here in Maryland, boys and men wear shorts all year long, even in the snow. It is odd (aren’t they cold?)
I like my sweaters. You see I have fine Shih Tsu hair, not tons of fur like the butterfly, Papillion, Bearnard. Mom makes me wear a sweater anytime the temperature outside drops below 45 degrees. But I don’t mind. Aren’t I the cutest? Mommy says that I look like someone called “Dobby” when I wear this one with ears.
We sure make a mess of the house with all this snow and ice and snow stuck to our furs, and the musher’s gunk she puts on our paws. It takes 15 minutes before she is done suiting us up, then we take a 10 or 15-minute walk, and then it takes 15 minutes to clean up once we are inside again.
Next week we are expecting an Arctic blast or Polar Vortex or something like that. They say it will be the coldest weather of the season. I am freezing already! Stay warm, friends! – Jolie, the Pupsicle
P.S. Mom’s furnace died in the middle of this and we went 4 days with only little oil and electric heaters – now that was not fun. Beary was sure glad to have a sweater on then.
Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

My goodness, you are both beyond adorable little pups!!! Very attractive in your sweaters too. And I’m with you. I’m no fan of winter and cold weather. Brrrrr….! I’m counting the days until spring. Can’t get here soon enough for me!! 🤣 So glad you have a working furnace again. Keep those sweaters handy and stay warm!!! 🩷

Thank you for your kind remarks. With this arctic blast coming we’re gonna need double sweaters. Stay warm until spring. It’s only 90 days away I think.

Yes!!! I’m in Columbia, South Carolina (just a little below you), and we are bracing for freezing low temps next week too. Rain this morning (I’m no fan of rain either…lol). Sooooo looking forward to the return of warm weather and blue skies. Double sweaters this week…absolutely!! Layers upon layers. It’s the only way to stay warm with our high humidity and freezing temps. ~shivering~ Have a cozy, blessed weekend!! 🩷🐶
