Bitter cold weather and yard dogs
Dogs may not be smart, but my observations are that they are not stupid.
For example, they figured out the
puppy house in the barn also has two chicken house heat lamps to both help keep
the wind chill down, and the general warmth up a little. So they spend a lot of
time in this place, which also has a lot of straw on the floor.
I buy the line that the higher
internal temperature of dogs helps them tolerate cold weather better than we
humans can.
Yet so many of these dogs,
especially the younger ones, come out of the puppy house to play outside and
run-around.
The outside temperature gets well
below freezing during this recent winter cold snap.
So even during cold times, they
still defend by barking from this home place of theirs. No dog bites. And humans and wildlife still come around
here all the time, at least until the barking starts.
Brrrrrrr.
