The huskies handle that kind of cold much better than humans! Mac is currently trying to find someone to play chase and wrestle with him! Heyoka is sunning his belly! It's always clear and sunny when it's this cold.
There are insulated dog houses everywhere that are filled with straw. I put out another full bale of straw a couple days ago.
Food rations double in extreme cold. They get snacks throughout the day of high fat stuff, except Earle and Paxil who can't have fat. They get way more baited water too. Ozzy and Anvik are allowed to eat as much as they want in the cold. They are both hard keepers and get dangerously skinny really fast.
They rotate through the house and the shop all day. The shop is heated too. Most of them sleep inside at night. I had 19 in the house last night and a few more in the shop. Delta and Deuce were outside, by their own choice. Deuce has never voluntarily come inside. Delta was bedded down and wouldn't come out of his house. I bought another crate a couple days ago for Goldie.
I'm waiting for a locksmith right now cuz the back door to the shop, aka the gate to Kayleigh's pen, is broken. Brass doorknobs don't like -48C(-56F)! Climbing Kayleigh's fence is the only way into her pen right now and that's not much fun! Although I think she's highly amused by watching me do it!
It's supposed to warm up to -25C(-13F) by Monday. That will feel like a heatwave! Until then our highs are around -40, which is the same in both scales.
