Lol I hate that shit. I am in the mid west and all this week it's been in low 20s and below with 4-7inches of snow. The worse thing is I have many pups I have to constantly take out to empty at all different times, and change of the water bowls every couple of hours for the ones on the yard. Shit just gets under my skin. This is the last winter I will have to spend here because am packing my bags and going to "sunshine state". In the spring
What I hate is I don't feel like doing as much road work and outdoor play with my bulldogs anymore.
I hate 2feet of snow and shoveling paths to the dogs!! But as much as i hate the cold i could nt imagine not having a yard of bulldogs. Yis Ole Man
It fucking SUCKS!Quote:

In the southeast (NC) it has been sub-freezing the last few days but gets to the high 30's/low 40's during the day. So it is not the extremes of the Midwestern states or the northern states/Canada. A set of young pups really do not understand geography but for them cold is cold so the responsibilities are much the same. I get the benefit of cold weather but our days are nothing like others. We do get above freezing regularly.
I liked the parasite comment from above. One thing about NC is last week it was freezing temperatures all week, some ice here and there and then on Friday it was over 70. During a rub down I found a tick on the dog. In December. The dogs pose problems wherever we call home. Just different and to different extremes. EWO
I clean less when its freezing. Less bacteria. Or did u mean cleaning the poopoo
EVO - we in Texas man.....It's not even cold.......LOL
is texas dry heat like cali or humid like florida??
Ill take the bugs and snakes. It was 38 today and thought it was nice.
Feel bad for the dogs north of me
I power wash my kennels every every am and pm.Quote:

No doubt about it. Got family there, know some good dogmen. The isolation and your importrules are big cons though.Quote:

Texas is a country, not a state!
Nice pups
You are absolutely right. That August in Houston will kill a dog quick.Quote:
