With the temps we have been having Loki already started to shed.

Yeah, with our lack of winter in Washington, Harry started shedding 2 weeks ago. Caught us completely off guard to be completely covered in hair.

We've been having pretty warm weather and Lycus hasn't started shedding yet... hmm lol It won't be too long before he does.

Our highs barely reach positive numbers last week and this week. With the wind chill the temps were almost -30.

Wow, that's cold! We had 70 degree weather today with some winds. The coldest it has gotten this week was in the 40s. We didn't even get snow this year though. *sigh*

It's been horrible, Jason! This area has been so cold.

Why do you think he would be shedding in those temps? I've always wondered that. Do you think maybe his undercoat is coming in even thicker?

Could it be related to day length? I've noticed it stays lighter slightly longer outside now.

It's been really cold here and Link and Yuki have both been blowing their coats since early December and haven't stopped. Silly pups.

Oh I know I had to help troubleshoot an aircraft's apu outside this past Monday. No idea why he would shed so early I always thought it was based on the temperature.

Ditto!!! The last 2 days were the first day in almost 2 weeks that we've been above 3° - and the nights have been regularly below zero. The big boy thinks it's great   - the other big boy sulks in the house sucking his thumb. And now he is starting - big clumps of fur when I pet him. Apparently his system doesn't know we've got 10 more weeks where we could see extended, deep cold.
