Oh boy, my pups have made yellow ice sculptures every time they wanted out this morning. Weather.com says it's 20* and a windchill of 1*.

It's a shame they cannot subject the "owner" to the same conditions for a day or three...

Humans can be horrible, self-centered beasts.

It's very sad. He's a gorgeous Lab and is so sweet. He gets NO attention from his family and they often go away for days and nobody is there.

My husband would kill me if I brought the horses in the house but don't think it hasn't crossed my mind.

Maybe the next time these idiots go away for a few days, someone should help themselves to a new Lab to love. I'll never understand why people bother getting an animal to leave it outside. What's the point?

Poor dog. What is AC monitoring, doesn't it constitute animal cruelty in these low temps? No water or food for days? The poor dog isn't going to make it through this!

you can put a nice warm horsey blanket on them to keep them warm :). Catt to the person who owns the lab (they shouldn't be pet owners). the owner of the dog and someone i know think the same way about animals oh its just a dog or oh its just a cat. My mom and I were the ones to save bruno from being an outdoor dog as we got bruno during the winter 2yrs ago and my stepfather just couldn't see leaving her outside. I did all the housebreaking they helped a little but it is a hard task to do and I can say we made it through it. Bruno stays in where its warm on really cold days but if its near 60 out she goes out in the fenced in yard and runs around for an hour or so in the morning and same in the afternoon but on days like today shes out to do her business then back in my nice and warm apt.
