[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be OK with people, not with dogs. And there's nothing wrong with leaving dogs in an unheated house with some extra blankets, checking on them twice daily. Good grief, people. They're DOGS!! My kids ride horses that wear a blanket and stay in the pasture through this weather.[/quote]

A horse that lives outside all year long is not the same as a dog (social animal, by the way, who is used to living in a pack) who is used to living in a temperature controlled environment with humans.

It's fine that you don't like animals in your house.  Don't offer for them to stay.  But suggesting it is okay to leave dogs in a house with no heat when the temperature dips down to 17 degrees is ridiculous.  Montgomery County just instituted fines for people who leave their dogs outside in the winter.  If you can be fined for leaving your dog in a dog house outside in the winter, then how is it okay to leave the dog in an equally cold house while you take comfort somewhere else?

You obviously have no understanding of Thermodynamics. Have you ever even had a Science course?[/quote]

Yes.  I've also lost power in February.  And while my house didn't get as cold as outside, it dipped down to 30 degrees.  The law in Montgomery County applies to winter in general.  So if someone can be fined for leaving their dog outside in 40 degree temperatures, how is that different from leaving them inside a house that is 40 degrees?

I don't know why people get so nasty on this board and toss around insults.  Guess what?  I'd rather freeze to death than stay with people who think it's fine if a dog dies because they don't want to be made uncomfortable for a few days.
