It seems that every creature on earth has a different sense of what’s too hot and what’s too cold.

For example, in high summer Edie Wolfe’s dog Nearly spends his days in the deep shade of his human’s back porch while others seek out the sun. In winter, he sticks close to the wood stove while others romp in the snow.

But it’s those in-between times, such as the ones that can happen in early October, that are such a challenge.

Especially if you pride yourself on being a “tough Yankee.”

Let’s check in tomorrow with Carding’s favorite canine, shall we?
