When Is It Too Cold to Walk the Dog? Use This Handy Guide for Reference

[Rorey]

18. I'm not tough

I just tried to dress for the conditions, and then I just psyched myself up to emotionally handle the extreme conditions. It helped when Murphy wanted to run, but that stopping and sniffing everything was horrible.

I was always convinced that Murphy knew just what I was saying, and I'm sure your dog does too. I had a lot of long conversations with him. He got me through a lot of stuff. Many of our best talks were when we were driving, and even after he had died, I still felt like he was there in my van with me, and I'd still have talks with him.

Now I talk to the cat, but she doesn't care about my personal stuff much, and she doesn't go for rides. I may as well have a potted plant for a pet as well as she listens.
