Well, it's almost the end of March, and instead of spring gentle showers, we had a big snowfall with freezing winds and icy raindrops falling.
This is Monty, a handsome Peke owned by Kim taking a walk in the snow. He has the fluffiest tail and the sweetest, most playful personality.
For those who live in the city, just a few reminders about being safe when playing outside in the snow.
Make sure you clean the peke's paws after the walk because the salt on the sidewalks is strong and can sting if they have a tiny cut on their paw. Also, dogs lick their paws and licking that salt can make them sick. They have special pre-wipes to wipe paws at the dog stores, or any
pre-wipe from the drug store is easy to use.
As much fun as snow can be in the city, especially in Central Park, walking around on the sidewalks and streets covered with snow and slush can be dangerous. As a note of caution, please be aware that accidents can happen, due to the dangerous electrical currents hidden
beneath the snow. Be careful to watch where you walk if you are in New York City because several accidents and deaths have occured in the last few years. Unfortunately, as the dogs walk over manhole covers, (which are covered by snow and not really visible), there are live electrical current which injure or kill the dogs.
