The dogs here wear snow boots. I am glad Mia is okay. The ice can be pretty rough on a dogs feet.

I'm at the very top of middle Tennessee so most houses here have central heating and air. Especially in my area because the houses have all been build within that last 30 years. My house is actually as old as I am so that's neat, 1989. Some of the older cities around haven't been updated though. That's actually how I lost my hamsters Riot and Annabell a couple years ago. It was in an older neighborhood without central heating and it dipped down too cold one night So I immediately moved my remaining hamster back to my parents house and I followed shortly after.
I do have antifreeze. but no snow tires. Theres no point we just hunker down till it melts. We don't have boots for our puppies cause it hardly ever does that. I've never seen ice like we got last week. It was at least 2 inches on the ground and on my car. Then snow on top of that. I have no problem driving in snow it's the other drivers I have a problem with because they usually drive way too fast for the conditions.
