The cold weather that has rolled through the New England area this week along with a “Blizzard Bomb Cyclone” from a month ago, has been quite extreme.  When you own dogs that are used to going for daily walks and the high temperature for the day is 7 degrees, the owner (or dog walker) needs to dress appropriately.  Tested during extremely cold weather and used at all day nose work trials, here are some favorite items that I use during extreme cold weather.  I would love to hear from you what your favorite items are. ​
