Question:

Hi Everyone.  I spent most of my time on the rec.pets.dogs.behavior newsgroup.  I hate it when people post a question to which the answer is only several posts earlier.  So I searched the posts on this newsgroup and although I did see posts about the cold weather, I couldn’t find any about running clothing for extreme cold weather conditions.
