As we were trying to figure out what to write in our latest post, the puppies kindly volunteered their blog writing services. They decided that a pitbull's guide to dealing with cold weather might be helpful to other poor mistreated pitbulls whose owners are cruel enough to subject them to frigid temperatures- you know, like anything below 75.
Yes, the time does say 5:18 am, which is a whole different form of animal cruelty!
So here are the tips they came up with:
1.) Don't touch the bare floor! Pretend it is quicksand and avoid it at all costs.

2.) Convince your people to give you warm goat milk. Miss S pointed out there there are people who advise against giving dogs milk because they are naturally lactose intolerant. She thinks those people are STOOPID and is convinced that they are the same bozos who say that dogs shouldn't eat cat poop- an obvious delicacy. Mom unfortunately agrees with the person on the not eating cat poop part. Fortunately however, she gives them goat milk from time to time as a treat. She dilutes it with warm water from the water dispenser, which is why the puppies get excited any time someone gets water- even at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
3.) Dress for success. Tell your people to get you some jackets and sweaters. If your mom decides to make you a fleece jacket to wear temporarily while you're still growing, make sure she uses the little squares of stick on Velcro. That stuff is an awesome chew toy. It tastes pretty good too. If you can't reach your Velcro, get your brothers and sisters to help.

4.) The best solution to cold weather of course, is to convince your people that they don't need to get up yet and that you need to be on the bed cuddled up with them. This is a win-win situation. They get to sleep longer, and you get to cuddle undisturbed.
5.) If you are little, the big sad puppy eyes thing can be an effective method of convincing your people that you need a cuddle. On their bed instead of on yours.
On a side note, Mom is convinced that cold weather might be good for potty training. Sure, it might make them want to potty at first, but the minute they go outside, they are motivated to hold it longer to avoid being taken outside again.
