Single digits are not stopping this dynamic duo. Hiya, Elsa here. We finally got some snow with a couple of days of bitter cold. Mom hitched us up in our paw mittens and coats and then spent 87 hours putting gloves, hats, mittens and boots on herself before we could go galloping out in the elements. Snow? We don’t let a little stinking snow stop us.
We traveled over hill and over dale like jackrabbits hopping along, dragging pulling mom along our walk. Sam is headed over to the hospital today while I stay home practicing my Olympic skating skills. I swear, I don’t get how he can get all tangled up in his leash, come to a complete screeching stop and then look up so pitifully at mom with a H-E-L-P me look on his face whereas I can skate at full speed, perform a double Lutz jump into a full-on poop stance in the blink of an eye. Boys…sheesh. Talk about snowflakes!
While Sam is putting smiles on patients faces over the next couple of days, I’ll have a few hours of peace and quiet each day watching the snow accumulate and our evil squirrel. He better hope he doesn’t slip off his branch while I’m outside. Stay warm and we’ll be back soon.
Live, love, bark❣
Snow is the best! I wish we got more of it here!

😇
Apparently, our pawrents are not as hardy cuz the cold temps stopped them in their tracks! Yous sure have some cool boots BUTT I would NEVER wear boots. Stanley might but I hate anything on my body. Mom is hoping it warms up. We think she is a wimp butt do NOT tell her we said that!
Keep Calm & Bark On!
Murphy & Stanley
It’s hard to be hardy in single digits.
We got snow and bitter cold too – it is hard on us pugs when it is single digits
hugs
Hazel & Mabel
The snow isn’t so bad, but the single digits…AWK!
You both look extra adorable and fashionable in your coats and boots!
Our Mama laughed about your Mama having to get you both as well as herself all bundled up before leaving the house. Our Mama goes through the same ritual but with one extra little dog, Duffy! By the time everyone is ready to face the elements, our humom needs a nap! ;p
the critters in the cottage xo
I know what it’s like to have to hitch up 3 dogs. Back when the OES’s were still alive, we had to do this at o-dark thirty before going to work. AWK!!!!! Those were some ‘good’ times. Not! 😂
Where did you get their coats btw??
Sam’s came from Duluth Trading Co and I like it better than Elsa’s because it was pocket and a fleece lining. Super easy to put on too. Elsa’s came from a local pet store in the neighborhood.
Omg love the coats! Looks nice and warm for the pups..
Sweet paw mittens, friends! Enjoy your snowy days.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
stylish!
It was so cold this morning we pulled out one of Cole’s sweaters for baby Milo, and pulled on some booties, and he wore them like a champ. He is foolhardy and will bolt and slip and skid and fall and jump back up. Funny he can’t hear us saying, QUIT THAT! (his sweater is in the laundry now getting the peepee washed off)
The cold weather brings out the Spring Bok in both dogs. I laugh the whole time we walk because they are so hilarious.

Many thanks 🙏🏼
You are so welcome
You guys are hitting the cold weather well prepared. I thought this was gonna be a post about poop!! Trot trot
Bwahaha!
Look at you two, all bundled up! Wonder what mom’s wearing?
A mirrored image of gloves, coat and mittens. By the time we’re all hitched up, I’m exhausted! 🤣
LOL, I’ll bet! 😀
Y’all are so stylish in your snow suits! I hope Sam has a safe trip to brighten the days of patients and hope the squirrel slips! BOL!
We knew there was a reason we loved you! Sam had some amazing visits we hope to share later this week. 💖
Peace and quiet is a good thing – plus, it lets you save up all that energy to see just how fast you can get going on a walk!
We’re talking Mach 1 speed in snow.
Wish we had some snow to romp in. We just have ICE!!! If there is snow on the sidewalks, then we don’t get to walk, Mom worries too much about falling and breaking her old bones. But we can still have fun in our yard running and doing zoomies.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Having fallen while dog walking and breaking my leg (in GOOD weather no lees) I think you mom is being prudent. Stay safe and warm.
Look at you two! So stylish! We’ve had warm weather the last few days … I don’t look forward to tomorrow when the temperature tanks.
Yup, winter is coming. #GøT
BOL!
Too funny but true. My huMom also takes 87 hours to suit up.
You both look furbulously fashionable!
Nose nudges,

It’s hard work being bundled up when you’re the one with thumbs. 😆
You look soooo cute in your skating outfit Elsa, love the boots. You’d love it here today because we have even more snow. It’s very cold though. Have fun. Gold would suit you. ❣️
We like snow, the cold…yeah…not as much.
You really have snow! Your tiny shoes are so cute. Stay warm and be happy!

It’s easy in this weather. We received about 6-8” yesterday so we’re happily bounding in the snow like deer 🦌 except for mom. She’s not into bounding. 😊
Elsa, your Mom is more die-hard than moi. And why is she not using your front hook, no pull halters right? It’s made a world of difference with Lucy.
We call Mom Nanuk of Denver. Actually I am wearing a no-pull halter. It clips on the back by the shoulder blades or can clip on the front (when I pull, it tightens around my chest and allows mom to control me better). Because of my epilepsy, the vet suggested we not have have any trauma around my neck. 😊
Yep, Lucy’s got one, so I recognized it. Just wondered why it wasn’t clipped up front. No trauma around ANYONE’s neck is the best. 🙂
😍 Most definitely.
We hate snow so we will just enjoy reading about it.
It’s the most snow we’ve had all year! And it’s fun to play in.
It almost got to freezing last night. Pitchers and catchers have already reported.
It’s hard to imagine baseball season is around the corner. I haven’t gotten enough hockey yet!
Loving your cold weather gear!! You look marvelous!!
I feel like a race horse in mine. Sam’s is lined because he gets more cold than I do. It also makes his butt look big. {snicker}
Your fur-iend,
Elsa 🐾
😃😂🤣👍you both look BOMB 💣 ❤️
A humble thanks. 😇
And it’s almost 70 degrees here this morning… weird!
Evil squirrels never slip off of branches… unless they do it intentionally. A squirrel never makes a mistake…
Oh snap…and here I thought I had a chance of some squirrel stew. Enjoy those 70’s-the perfect temp in our books!
Enjoy your snow adventures, Elsa. And your “just me” time. I’m sure the patients will be very happy to see Sam over the next couple of days – he is quite the therapist!
I’m going to pretend I’m a deer whenever I go outside and bound around in loads of fluffy snow.
I was listening to a radio show recently in which they were talking about dressing your dogs up in cold weather and how most dogs appreciate it. I mean . . of course they do! They’re people too!
Umm…no…my dogs (maybe because they’re poodles?) do not allow ‘dressing up.’ They do however enjoy the coats for some reason. The boots, yeah, not so much.
I don’t like boots much either . . . 🙂
When it’s 2 degrees and 8” deep, they come in handy.
This is true. And they are indispensable when I’m hiking.
Paw mittens….sooo cute. 😃
Thank you. 😊
Looks great Elsa. I envy you guys. I’d gladly give our 35c for your lovely white snow. You stay warm and I’ll try to stay cool..
35? Still? What kind of autumn weather is THAT? Hoping some cooler weather arrives for you and Benji.
guess what? after the weather kidded us with t-shirt temperatures for one day Jack Frost is back today… I’m glad the mama didn’t sort the summer clothes like Humphreys mom… she probably will think twice today about the white bermudas and the new polo shirt hahahahaha
😆 Humphrey’s mom should rethink the white bermudas anyway-she has a dog. And dogs turn white clothes into…well you know! Stay warm.
