GALTx eNews: Eleven Tips For Cold Weather Walks
January is National Walk Your Pet Month. We all need a reminder of the importance and benefits of a good walk during the coldest part of the year when it is hardest to maintain a good walking routine. As much as we want to hibernate, our dogs still need exercise and mental stimulation to remain healthy and happy. Here are some tips to help you get your walks in:
1) Bundle your hound up in a warm coat and booties with good no slip tread.
2) Take more frequent, shorter walks in areas that are in full sun and, if possible, sheltered from the wind. 
3) Let someone know your route and when you expect to be back so that they can come looking for you if you do not arrive on time. Also be sure to carry a well charged mobile phone. If one of you slips, you might need a ride home.
4) Depending on the size of your dog, you can expect them to be uncomfortable when the temperature is below 32 degrees and at high risk for cold weather injury below 20 degrees. If your dog is young, senior, experiencing health conditions, or a Sighthound with little body fat, take extra care to keep them sufficiently warm. Know the signs of hypothermia and the location of the nearest emergency vet.
5) Understand how the wind will affect your experience with the cold before you go out. Click here for a windchill chart to calculate how cold you and your hound will feel. 
6) Just like you would when driving, be aware of black ice and other slippery spots on sidewalks both for you and your hound. 
7) Antifreeze, deicing chemicals, and salt can be really dangerous for dogs. Be suspicious of odd colored puddles and avoid areas that aren’t frozen when they should be. 
9) Don’t allow your hounds to eat snow. It will lower your hound’s body temperature more quickly and might contain harmful chemicals such as deicers.  
10) When you get home, help your hounds warm up more quickly by drying them off. Pay special attention to wiping their feet to ensure no salt, deicer, or other chemicals remain behind.
11) Finally, do not, under any circumstances, let your dog walk out ahead of you on a frozen lake or pond as it might not be as frozen as you think. Keep your leashes on and short.  
If you really can’t get out, consider doggie daycares or other indoor activities such as increased training or food puzzles to keep your hounds active. Happy walking!

Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.

Watched the birds while having a coffee, but decided it’s too beautiful to stay inside so I took a walk around our pond. In the hour since, we’ve gotten about 2 more inches. Sadly, it’s supposed to warm up & rain later today, before plummeting to single digits by tomorrow evening.

Very pretty layered ice formation I saw while exploring around a lake - there were as many as seven different layers! Freezing and thawing processes are so cool.
