Taking My Sweet Dogs of Summer North of the Wall

Desert Dogs Adapting to a Canadian Winter

Not all Canadian winters are the same. If you live in Toronto, the temperatures are easily 10 degrees C above the temperatures in Montreal or Edmonton. If you live in Victoria, it’s already spring in the middle of February.

I live in Ottawa. The daily temperatures can range from -35 degrees C to plus 5 degrees C with averages somewhere around -7 to -15 depending on the day. It was a pretty mild winter, with temps running around -10 degrees C most days.
