Deer are out feeding in the yard, our sheep guard dogs sleep out on the snow curled in a ball, even though they have houses with straw. Don’t worry about the animals. They are tough. Chickadees fed all day at the feeder...

Chickadees fed all day at the feeder... I have an antolian shepherd named Thor. He has several dog houses, with fresh hay in them and as far as I can tell has only gone in one once. I have piled up hay in the depression he likes to sleep in and he just shoves the hay out of the way. I give him gallon bags of boiled alpaca fat, when it's real cold. He is a tough animal. Keith

I had a german shepherd, and the happiest it ever was, was swimming and retrieving a ball in 32F water with ice going down the river. It's unbelievable when I think about it. Having scuba dived before, and attempting to go into 55F water without protection can cause you to hyperventilate, I find it amazing that cold water seems not to bother some dogs. Different dogs can handle different weather, I understand. I loved the comment about "into other peoples houses" HAHAHA Looking to purchase Skunk Quill 740 544 6513
