Cold, Wet, Windy - & add Whimpering... Its one of the toughest things to do when bringing a dog on a trail system. Its an easy mistake - you feel prepared - you have the trip planned. Your plan doesn't have enough for the dog in the worst conditions... I am sharing as I too made this mistake a few years back in the Batona Trail. (NJ) I could have stayed the night...the dog would not. At 2 am the temps dropped below 17° and Rugby woke me up.... ice was coming off the breath of the dog. From memory we were 10 miles from the car, so we hiked back without stopping and just having the work out warmed us up. We made it to the car but the lesson was learned.
Fleece blankets were not enough.
Oh what started this thread... apparently this happens to others - I found this video reminded me of the experience

Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!
