I agree, but you must live where it's toasty and warm outdoors all year

it's two (as in 2) degrees Fahrenheit.

You can take care of that problem by buying the dog a moisture shedding
coat. That should keep it warm enough for those cold walks.

I don't think Doug is concerned about the dog on those cold walks.

It's blindness that concerns me. I wear glasses. If it's cold enough to be
dangerous, you're supposed to cover your nose and mouth. That sends your
breath straight up to the glasses, which fog up. Now you're blind.

All this for home security (a dog)? No. I have a deadbolt on the cellar
door, and it's reinforced with steel straps. The point is not to keep
intruders out. It's to force them to make lots of noise. There's a box of
black lawn & leaf bags that is never opened and used for lawn and leaves.
They're for the Special Purpose, which I doubt will ever happen.

If they break in when nobody's home, I really don't care.
