Yeah...it's not that cold here so we don't need to get anything for my guinea pig for the past two winters.

though the animals seem to like the cold.

Yeah, they have a lot more fur after all. XD

but they need to stay warm and not get sick D<

Haha yeah, but then sometimes humans can be stupid and bundle them up in sweaters and stuff when it's only mildly chilly and you'd see those poor things lying around with their tongue hanging out. Doesn't help that the people around here are generally very much not tolerant towards the cold and they think everything else is also like that. >___>

well the dog does need the sweater when it's in the negatives outside.
because he likes to sit out there for like an hour and refuses to come in.
so sweater it is. it's going to be so fun to see his reaction to snow for the very first time.

Ooh, yeah. Negatives will need sweaters. Maybe even socks for his paws?

not cold enough for that yet, maybe when the snow hits.
he needs to build up a tolerance though.

With all his fur I think he'll be alright for a little while. :)

oh yeah, we have to take him to the groomer soon though,
give him a little trim and stuff c:

But isn't it still cold? o Ao Or do they need regular trims?

Australian Shepherds do, because the fur can get too thick between his paw pads and cause problems.
and we don't want any of the fur getting matted or anything, so small trims are good for him,
despite the weather.

Oh, didn't know that about that particular breed.

and if you don't trim the hair around the paw pads during snow season, it can cause a lot of damage~

Why? What happens? o Ao

the snow can cause clumps and freeze between the pawpads. which is super painful.

Ow! Yeah, I can see how that can be bad.

that does not sound fun in the least

Yeah. :c

Being frozen is painful. x__x

Yes it is *shivers* Tana's feets are cold!

The temperature is just right for me at the moment, sometimes a little on the warm side. I think it's around 26 - 28 degrees Celsius here right now.

Tana has no clue how hot or cold that is XD
Tana is American, and because we feel the need to be different we don't use Celsius like just about the rest of the world.

Uh...I have no idea what temperature that would be in Fahrenheit either, and I'm feeling too lazy to go use Google to check. XD

same here XD lol

I think it might be around 80 degrees?
