Who else has been having a pretty ruff day? The seasonal blues are already upon us as we bid farewell to summer and welcome the crisp autumn air. Our pups are excited to run around in the breeze, but how are we supposed to tell them that mommy and daddy must get up when it's still dark outside and let them out for a walk?! Well, even if we wanted to, we couldn't. They're dogs. They don't know how to speak… I think.

When the seasons change, we realize how much we've taken the weather of the previous season for granted. I know, I know. The grass is always greener on the other side. How do we reconcile the fact that we've yet another long winter ahead of us?

Well, it's best to just embrace it. Winter is the perfect time for snuggling with our favorite canines on the couch, our bellies full of hot chocolate and whipped cream. Lest we forget the gorgeous incandescent lights that string themselves upon the tree branches of our Christmas trees! I'm getting ahead of myself… But this is for all dog parents who are feeling a little ruff as the seasons transition. Turn that frown upside down!
