We headed outside and immediately returned for the warmth of the house.  We were both shivering and I required a heavy jacket and Odie a pet sweater to keep him warm.

After that, the thirty degree weather had no effect on us and we continued our brisk walk. Sometimes short-haired dachshunds have  advantages since they get to wear a nice looking sweater once in a while.

The patches of ice reminded to keep careful and not to start jogging to get our blood flowing.  But at least we warm with a extra layer of clothing.

The girls didn’t need a sweater this morning due to the fact that they have a lot of fur and we only dress them up when they go to the snow.
