"Speed Peeing" - yes! My guys are doing that, too! They seem to have about a 30-second window of opportunity before their feet start to hurt in our -5 degree actual temps and windchill is in the "OhHeckNo" zone.
Jack the Cattle Dog is impervious to the weather - he seems to have tougher feet? BUT - Mother Nature has been mean to him with this weather: at age 13, he can barely see (cataracts) to start with; and snow in general ruins his depth-of-field. And now with the wind blasting across the frozen lake and creating crazy snowdrift sculptures and maze-like paths - Jack is encountering "barriers" that didn't exist yesterday.
One more day of wind and snow - and then I can at least shovel straight paths for the poor old guy....
