Here is vegas the temps are dipping in the low 30's at evening and night. I put a sweatshirt/hoodie on Ricky and go. If its windy out, he does not like it at all... kinda crouches down and then sits down... turns and heads for home. If its not windy, he seems to be ok with going out doing the duty and then getting back inside! I do have potty pads on my patio that he will use. so we may resort to those when its cold.
I think the most important part to keep warm on a chi is the chest and round the back, neck also. The sweatshirt hoodies work well for Ricky. He needs some leg warmers!!! little tiny ones!

The temps have dropped to the 40's and I was wondering if I put a sweater and a coat on her would that be enough to prevent her from getting chilled? She has been inside for two weeks because of the cold and or rainy weather. I am concerned that she may catch a cold. With Princess, I only put a coat on her once the temps reach freezing or below, even then she does not like it. So how cold is too cold for a Chi to be outside, even for a short 15 minute walk? And how much do you have to bundle them up? ♥ Peggy & The Girls ♥ -- Rylee O'Neill Email: [email protected] <a href="http://pitapata.com/";><img src="http://pdgm.pitapata.com/N9lQm6.png"; width="200" height="80" border="0" alt="PitaPata Dog tickers" /></a>
