I have a fenced in yard so I let my guy's run outside for a bit till they want in. I shovel the back patio so that they wont be in deep snow. I also put their jackets on them when its too cold and windy.
Jeter can't tolerate the cold too long, he is 2 pounds 12 ounces and if it is windy out, he actually has been blown over trying to pee outside
He hates the snow too, so he only stay's in the shoveled area. He is fast to do his business and get back in the house. He loves our fire place and will warm up in front of it
I do not walk him during the winter
Yumi Yasha is a bit bigger than Jeter, she is almost 5 pounds and she will play a bit longer outside with Axl than Jeter but she still gets cold fast too. She is picky were she potties so she takes a bit longer finding the perfect spot
She will go on a short walk to the end of our block every now and then but she stops at a certain spot and then you end up caring her home.
Axl, who is an 8 pounder, is a whole diffrent story. He could care less if its freezing out, he loves being outside to run and bark at every thing. He goes off all over the yard jumping in the snow drifts, its funny watching him . He even likes to eat the snow
last night I had to let him out at 12:30 and he would not come back in, It took him about 20 minutes to come in the house
I was so dang cold and I just had my robe and slippers on and had to go outside and trick him to come in. He also still likes his walk around the block and could possibly go for a longer walk if you want to be outside yourself. Yesterday my oldest son did not have school so he took him on a walk 3 diffrent times. He said Axel did not walk, he ran for the most part.
