    Cold weather precautions.

    I am new to THIS forum, but have been around the block on a few others prior to this.
    As I sit here in the upper Great Plains I see the forecast for this weekend is predicting high temps of maybe 0* F and lows toward -20* F before the windchill is figured in... And here a normal day would be 10 mph wind or better.
    I realize that most on here know it is a no-brainer that keeping our dogs (or any pet) warm is essential, but keep in mind that with colder weather our pets need more water available.. Their metabolism is naturally at a higher rate to produce the body heat needed to keep themselves warm.. And eating snow will only drain already precious heat that they produced.

    Ok this was a lame howdy to everyone but what ever.

    What are other tips do folks have out there have for the cold weather.
