As everyone else the temperatures here are arctic! I opened the door last night to check and make sure the dogs were in their dog houses and the cats were in the garage and I got trampled by two dogs and two cats! LOL
Now Huskies love the cold weatehr but I think it was even too cold for them! LOL
They come running in the door as soon as I opened it and just stood in my kitchen looking at me like "Oh Please Don't snd me back out there!" 
OK I know you're wondering...and Yes I let them all stay in for the night. The two cats are still in but the two dogs braved it about 7 this morning. They are running and playing in the yard having a big time in the big whopping 1 degree out there.
I'm cleaning and preparing a little better for tonight. I don't like surprises. I'll be ready for them tonight when they come charging.
The cats say "forget it" they are moved in for now! LOL
Did you bring your animals in for the night or are they still in?

Yeah it's been beyond artic here as of late in Minnesota. Last night it was -24. And a windchill of -45. Now my Buster, Aa beagle, loves the snow and cold. But just to a poiunt as I do also. Lately he does his business right outside the back door and wants let in right away. But when the sun shines, no matter how cold it is, he still runs rampant having a blast. Sometimes I wished I was furry like a dog to enjoy this type of weather. Buster has never stayed outside overnight. Not even in the summer months etc. He is a soiled one and we love him near us as much as possible really. But then I'd never leave him outdoors with the temperatures and windchills as cold as we've had recently.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I live in the country and in an area that is bad for rabies, so ALL of my herd stay in at night...that's four dogs and four cats. They are great for keeping me warm in bed! 
Except that the mini Dachshunds tend to steal the covers, they're worse than my BF in that department.
When my ex and I were moving up to Montana (in November) we were traveling with my Siamese cat, and he got so cold his teeth chattered like castanets! Now that is an eerie sound.
As I posted earlier, I live in California where the temperature was a balmy 80 degrees today. We are expecting a cold front to come through starting tomorrow and the high will only be a cold 60 degrees. I wish I could package up some of our weather and send it to you...

I wish I could bottle up the warm weather and send it to people. It's another awful day here, it's already 68 degrees at 10 a.m. I'm going to put the doxies in their pen for a while so they can enjoy the weather too. I'm going to go out and clean the back yard and enjoy the sun.
Sorry to rub your nose in my beautiful weather..."think Spring".

Hi there!
I live in a tropical country and I have shih-tzus as pets. My pets stays inside the house always. I never let them out though I know they are used to cold weathers. But my shih tzus have been born in my country so I don't think they can take too much coldness.
I also know when they are feeling cold. Like now, my country has been experiencing cold weather and I sometimes see my dogs shivering while sleeping. I also notice they come to me at nights up on my bed and under my blanket.
Ciao!

Oh yeah. I used to have a shih-tzu and they are defineately warm weather dogs. They aren't big enough to withstand the temperatures we are having outside. Wind Chill factors are -25 degrees here.

It has gotten colder than normal here in the south and my daughter has a husky I call my grand dog. I don't know if she let her indoors or not the last two nights. She was raised inside, when my daughter moved to a house with a fenced in back yard the dog refused to live inside she loved the freedom of being outside. Now I am wondering if she stayed outside the last two nights. It didn't get down to below 0 but it did dip into the teens. I am going to check today and see what happened with my grand dog.

Oh yeah they prefer the outdoors. The teens are probably not too bad. Mine love it when it is cold out. But my youngest was hurt not long ago and he had to stay indoors for a couple of weeks to recover and he must have liked it and passed the word on to his mom! LOL

My "bubbles" is always like that.... I let her in particularly when I know that it's cold outside. But sometime I just let her in to our house because I just want her to stay there... I adore my dog so much,,,

I love mine too but they are not used to the indoors and they shed hair so bad it's pitiful! LOL They are funny though. They don't really know how to act. You can't let them get started because when they are outside they wrestle and play all day long. Huskies have a tremendous amount of energy. So they don't like the calm atmosphere too well!LOL Thanks for the response.

You're probably right. I think I am being tricked! LOL The cats have not gone out since they came in last night except to the garage for the litter box a few times. Otherwise they have set up roots I think! They will consider the outdoors around Spring maybe! LOL I'm going to let the dogs back in tonight if they want. Luckliy I have an empty Utility room right now so it's no problem. Temps are already -7 now so looks like we better brace for another arctic night. Thanks for the response

Hey fasttalker! I am so glad that you let them all stay inside!
That is kind of surprising that even the huskys wanted to
come in too! I thought that they loved being out in the cold!
Well I guess maybe not that much! It really is brutal out
there! I hate to hear that any animals are left outside in
this cold weather! It really is too cold for them to stay
there if they can be inside! How is your dog doing by the way?
Is he all healed now?

I just said the same thing about my dog this morning!!!He us half huskey and normally Looooves the snow but when I put him out this morning he started barking after only about 10 minutes!
Our windchill is way below zero today and my kids even had a snow day because of it.
Stay warm, friend!!!

huskies are cold-weather dogs...and it aggravates me when i see one in hot weather (stupid owners, no doubt, who don't "get it"). during the winter montbs (whether it's way below zero or not), animals' furs thicken -- it's the nature thing. watch the movie "8 below" which came out about 3-4 years ago.

I have a shepherd/husky cross, and I bring him in when it gets really cold out. But he really does not like it in the house. He will settle in for the night but as soon as morning hits he wants back out no matter how cold it is. But sometimes we have to force him in cause I get worried about him.

Bet the dogs are hoping it's pizza night...lol. They'd like a garlic one. And watch a doggie movie while you eat it.
My two chihuahuas are mostly indoor dogs. I can tell when it's cold to them when they go out to do their business. If they don't have to walk around the yard checking everything out (again), then it's cold. When Tukay (the oldest) was younger and she tried to brave the cold, she would lose the feeling in her legs. Many times I've had to trudge across the yard to go get her. As far as both dogs are concerned, the best way to combat the cold is to spend the day in somebody's lap. Prefereably with pizza.
