I wish we had some snow to try it out, lol! BTW, you might want to post this in general forum

Spike also loves the snow, he tears around like a crazy thing and gets absolutely covered. Right now, though, it's really cold here (-25c) and has been for about a week now. What do other people do with their Yorkies when it's much too cold for them to go outside?

Roxie loves the snow. She leeps up in the air and zooms around in it so fast. She also buries her face in the snow and comes in with a pure white face. My other 2 do not like the snow at all.

Taz absolutely loves this snow. This is the first winter we've had him and I was a little nervous since he HATES being wet. He can be shivering outside and I have to make him comes inside. We also have a Great Pyrenees and they just jump around outside together. They love chasing each other and sliding in it and Taz loves burying his facve in the snow!! They are so adorable! We've had quite a bit of snow too so I've really enjoyed watching them!

Walker likes the snow but not the sub-zero temps we're having. He also just got a haircut for the holidays and has very little protection any more. Mostly he will just go on the porch and do his business right there. We have to shovel a poop-path for the dogs or they won't leave the porch. Walker get's to wear coats whenever we ride in the car or are outside for any amount of time.

I just got this picture of one of my previous litter (now almost a year old), They had snow about 2 weeks ago *somewhere in Texas.......well he was so crazy about the snow , that they couldn't keep him out of it.
I'm wishing for some snow down here ....what fun that will be!!

my spike loves the snow as well! we have about 2 feet right now and he has a ball bounding through it. I worry about him getting cold though because the temps do drop.

He has a few little jackets he wears and i dont let him stay out tooo long

Cookie absoutely loves the snow! She runs and eats it at the same time its so funny! Usually when we come home her face is covered in snow.

I also worried about our Onegus being outside in the snow and cold. We live in N. Central WI so it can get pretty cold and deep here. We started with the normal coats you can buy at WalMart or pet stores. They didn't do much good, and boots won't stay on his feet because of his little "stick legs", goes out with 4 comes back with 1 or 2, lol. My solution was to find a doggie pattern for jammies with legs and make snowsuits for him. I made them slightly wider because I used double layers of outerwear fleece, extended the collars to cover his little ears, and added feet. He dives into snow banks, over them, under them and has no fear of the cold. The pattern was a very simple one and after the first one and the figuring the adjustments, they sew up pretty fast. He has 4 or 5 of them because they do get wet. We laugh about it being about as much fun as dressing a toddler to go out to play. We have to get bundled up first so he doesn't get overheated, then he gets dressed and we are ready to come in way before he is. We normally have to grab him up and carry him in.
