walking in the cold???

Maggie celebrated her 4-week ampuversary Friday with her first grooming appointment!  (Her groomer was the one who discovered her growth!)  She did great!

The cold weather has arrived!  It was 14° this morning!  Brrr!!!  My question is, do tripawds feel the cold more than usual?  My girls are Cairn terriers and I have never had them wear coats for our winter walks.  But I was a little nervous about taking Maggie out today, so I didn’t and I wanted to ask your advice before I do.  Can I still walk her in the winter?  Should I buy her a coat?  Should I keep a warm blanket in her stroller?

Maggie has an appointment in early December with a doggy physical therapist about 45 minutes from here.  Any advice on questions to ask her?

As always – THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your support!   Judi and Maggie

Maggie’s one-week ampuversary!

Yesterday was the one-week milestone.   Maggie is amazing!!!   I was brushing my teeth and came in the bedroom to check on the girls and they had BOTH jumped up on the lazy boy!!!  This was the best sign of a return to normalcy yet!!!  Her stitches are healing nicely and she’s bothering them very little.  We go for two walks a day, with the stroller, for when she needs a rest.  Tuesday she goes back to the vet for a checkup and to get her stitches removed.  Kenzie has been a wonderful little sister, giving her space, but showing her love, too.  On our walks, they go side-by-side, so that seems pretty normal, too.  Still ahead – stairs!  I will see what the vet recommends.mail
