I used to have a little Min Pin that would go out and after being out in the cold for a while her feet would get so cold she could not move...literally! I had to watch her close and when she started to shiver and stand in one place I would have to run out and get her quick. She was a special needs dog with some nerve damage to her back legs so I always thought it was related to that. But now my little Mylee does the same thing. She loves to play but all of a sudden she will get to where she can barely move and looks at me with a freightening look. She will start to pick up one foot at a time and hold it like it hurts or burns but won't move towards coming in. That's when I know she needs to get in fast! When it is bitter cold out you need to watch them very closely. The cold snow can hurt their feet.
