The time has come… the warm weather is gone and fall is officially in full swing. I personally HATE the colder weather, however, Mason is a big fan of it. He loves being outside in the cooler weather and laying out on our patio. Which means he is constantly wanting to go outside.
The hardest part of being a dog mom in the colder weather is you constantly have to layer up to go outside. Extra sweat shirts, sweat pants, socks, warm shoes, jackets, gloves, scarves, hats, etc. It is exhausting honestly, but it is a must because I hate being cold. However, one thing that makes this process a little easier and less time consuming is to have my “dog walking clothes” set out for the week and kept by the door either hanging up with the dog leashes and poop bags or in this cute little basket I have by the door.
This way I am not running up and down stairs and constantly searching for the items I want to wear to walk Mason and I am keeping them organized. Mason is not very patient waiting on me, so anything that streamlines the process of getting out the door, I know, is much appreciated by him.
Dog Mom Tip #24: Remember, your dog gets stress out too. So anything you do to make their lives less stressful/easier is much appreciated by them.
