Just Plain Weird
I've always known that Benny doesn't handle cold well. And it gets REALLY cold here. Putting Ben out in the yard generally ends up with someone having to suit up and go outside to retrieve him, as he just 'gives up' when he gets cold. Seriously. Even on the shortest pee break Ben starts holding up feet and eventually sits down or falls over, refusing to go any farther. The safe warmth of the house is mere feet away, but the old boy just.can't.make it. He simply shuts down in the face of extreme cold. So the boots and coat go on, and Ben gets carried inside. Weird guy, huh?

It hit -40 here today and I made a discovery.

Epic does the very same thing.

How is it that my fiesty, ferocious terriers are two of the wimpiest dogs ever? And what's Ben's excuse!? At least he has an undercoat!
