A big chunk of the US awoke today to snow on the ground, falling snow, and/or ridiculously low temperatures. Where I am, we have two inches, several more expected today, and the high temperature today is predicted to be 20°F. It will be colder tomorrow. Keep your pets inside for safety. Unless they are puppies or kittens, even those who are staying inside know that all that white stuff outside is cold. And while most of us do not expect our dogs to think too far into the future, some of them are contemplating the implications.
The habits of the other species may seem really weird until the situation changes. The prospect of wet frozen feet can open the mind to other possibilities. This comic is from Jimmy Craig at They Can Talk.
