(credit: Linda Hartman)
When the cold weather comes and winter starts knocking at the door, pet owners know just how cold their beloved pooch can get. Don't let your pal miss out on all the fun of outdoor play just because temperatures have dropped. Instead, pick up a sweater or two and a few booties or slippers and keep your pup warm and cozy while you brave the elements. You can still take that early morning walk and you can still bring your favorite companion along on your next trip to see the snow-capped mountains. You'll both be perfectly dressed for the conditions. Here are a few spots in town where you can pick up some stylish and warm winter gear for your pet.
