Question about English (US)
Please correct it to a simple and natural English expression.
↓
You had a cold paw ... I am sorry, It’s all my fault.
↑
(When I took a picture of my dog outdoors, I wrote about how I felt when I later realized that my dog was raising only his right front leg.)
My English ability is limited, so I had no choice but to write in English with a translation app.

We use freezing to imply that we are/ or something is very cold. It’s an understood exaggeration.
Wow, that movie theater was freezing, I could barely concentrate on the movie.
Oh, you must be freezing with that light jacket. Let me get you a heavier coat to wear.
Chilling implies that something is in the freezer or refrigerator. So, it doesn’t work to describe a cold temperature as it’s a verb that describes the action of becoming colder. You could say:
I feel chilly- this implies a low temperature.
Your poor paw is so chilly/cold. I’m so sorry!
I hope this helps❄️

Thank you for teaching me English.
It's a very nice English sentence.
I'm sorry I couldn't explain it. In fact, the dog's paws weren't freezing. I changed the English word to chilling.
'Your poor pow chilling.I'm so sorry,it's all my fault.'
Teacher, is my English word correct?
