I live in NY. I love your Sheltie! I had always wanted one since I was a kid and saw Lassie, but wanted the smaller version. Then I read up on the breed and felt that they wouldn't be happy in an apartment.
So sorry to hear about your fall, I can't imagine the pain that you went through. Two years ago, I slipped and twisted my ankle under my leg and body weight, and that pain almost caused me to pass out every time I went to stand up. It took 6 weeks before I could walk correctly. Your right it was worse then labor pains. So I can't imagine going through what you did. -------Original Message------- From: Laura Moreno Date: 12/10/2010 9:02:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] It's Freezing Here! Mare, so glad to know someone else has mini dachshunds like I do.

Yes your doggy can smell or rather sense the weather changes coming. It is a natural inborn instinctual trait. I would much rather have snow than freezing rains. You see last January I slipped on the ice outside and fractured both the radius and ulna bones right at the wrist on my left arm. Ouch! I never had such pain even birthing my babies. They transferred me by ambulance to Tulsa to where an orthopedic surgeon could fix it with plates and screws and such. I never want to see ice again. Besides that we live in the country and have a rather long driveway that is almost insurmountable to get up. My mini dachshunds love the snow and play like wild men. The chi's look out the front window and just tremble like...man you are some really dumb dogs ! LOL!

Well I just let Princess out for her evening (or should I say morning, it's almost 3:30am) quickie, before I hit the sack. ITS A BLOODY 21 DEGREES!!! Being the Eskie that she is, she just stands their looking and smelling the air, not a care in the world about freezing! Lol! I wonder if she can smell that snow is coming? Actually we haven't had any snow yet, but Sunday their may be some with freezing rains. That's worse then all snow. As long as I don't have to drive in it, I am fine! How lucky you are if you live in a warm state. I hate winters, always did, but I am stuck here so I find things to keep me busy indoors in the winter. I do get a kick out of Princess when it snows though. She loves snow and could stay out their all day if I were to let her. Last winter, I felt like a kid with her, I bundled up and took her for a quick walk and on the way back she did not want to go inside yet. It was so funny, she kept trying to pull me onto the lawn which had about 6 inches of snow. So I released the extendable leash so she could run through it. Well that wasn't good enough for her, she wanted me in their with her, so I said what the heck... She ran back and forth and jumping and barking and having a good old time for herself, so I decided to be a good sport and thew some snow at her. She didn t like it on her head, so she turned around and started to kick it back at my face! Lol! I threw some more at her and she did the same thing each time I threw it at her she would turn around and kick it back at me and bark and honestly if I didn't know better, I would say that bark was really her laughing at me!
