The whole family gathers around the table for Christmas dinner. For real animal lovers, dogs and cats are also part of it, because they are more than just pets.

The motivation for recreation is much harder to find in these cold and gray days, it's true. And while our working days end almost in complete darkness due to shorter days and longer nights, we more often throw the gun into the corn. But so that we don't only think about recreation in stuffy gyms, in the article we presented all the advantages of winter exercise outdoors, and as a bonus we put together a playlist for recreation that will warm us up.
Winter can be a severe trial for animals. Some oversleep during this time, others do not. And while wild animals are left to the mercy of nature, pets have it a little easier, because they are provided with a warm shelter at home or their owners put them in special clothes for wandering in the cold.
