Default Wind chill and frozen pipes again

I don't know about other animals. Dogs pant, but do they in very cold
weather? Probably not, and I've never heard of a dog's tongue freezing
because of wind chill. They probably keep their tongues in their
mouths.


Not my pug! His tongue is almost always hanging out his mouth, from as
little as an inch to as much as 4".

I don't know about windchill, but I do know that his tongue will stick to a
cold metal pole if he gets too close.

This isn't my dog, but I've seen this situation in real life more than
once.
