Curious why you think cooler temps are risky? I personally would rather do it when it's cool than too hot. They love to run when it's cool as long as they don't have to stand around all day.

I was thinking we will run early and it’ll be below 16. More prone to injury with it being that cold. Idk am I making that up?
I honestly don't know the answer to that question but our dogs have never had any trouble with it. Our club does weight pull at the end of January every year when it's sometimes -30 during the day and I don't think they would allow it if it was endangering the dog.

Well if it’s anything like here, the dew makes the grass icy in the morning when it’s that cold, which could probably cause some dog’s to injure their paw pads? Especially the faster dogs.I was thinking we will run early and it’ll be below 16. More prone to injury with it being that cold. Idk am I making that up?
We probably won’t be able to go to our event this weekend either (a show, not FastCAT) because we are supposed to get a bad ice storm.

Snow is still on the ground so that’s a good point. We are going to get a storm this weekend too. Bummer.Well if it’s anything like here, the dew makes the grass icy in the morning when it’s that cold, which could probably cause some dog’s to injure their paw pads? Especially the faster dogs.

i hope you guys can come up with a winning run or don't run for what you are facing this weekend! You'll figure it out together.

Seems this winter storm/ice storm is shaping up to affect a huge area. Depending on your location, staying home sounds like the very best idea!

You are correct, 12-18 inches they say of snow and ice.
Oh boy. I agree, staying home is the best option then. Like I recently told someone else, I used to brave that
going to work every day but when I have one or both of our dogs in the vehicle it's a totally different story.

Thankfully the forecast shifted for my area and the temps warmed up, so no threat of ice now!
Looking good!
Yay!
Great job guys! You're getting out and doing dog things, and i don't want to speak for you, and i know our things are not FASTCAT, but when we get ready to put them into the jobs they do, the whole rest of the world melts away, it's just us remaining, and i hope you and Pepper experience that, or something similar but just as important to you, too.
