I always think how much easier it must be having huskies in a better climate.I hate the winters so much.We only let them out into the garden one at a time,cos they play like mad and get each other all mucky,then its cleaning their paws!!.Every time I take them out they come back muddy.I could stick to the roads but ours pull so much they are easier off lead.Our local wood is a no go area,so we stay in the fields. It takes me longer to clean them all up as to walk them!!.We go through rolls and rolls of kitchen paper!.This winter it will be x 4!!.Last winter we had snow for a week,and it was so good cos they didn't get dirty!!.I loved the snow more than they did!!
