And this too will pass? Right, My dogs get very clean in the snow, but the kennels are a mess! I can't hose out, we have a stop and drain shut off for the water but if I get it going there is no where for it to go? But Spring will come.

Hi Emilie, No matter what Evan says, it is cold, rainy, foggy here in CA. My dogs are swimming in water and I have spent the last 3 days hosing off dogs, filling sandbags and trying to keep dogs dry. At one point I had 15 dogs/puppies in my house. It might not be -40 but I can tell you my fingers were frozen and it is miserable.
