Aawwww they will be fine for 3 mins outside. My boys are outdoor peers and poopers and they go out rain, snow or shine. They are good in the snow and even go out nekkid... but its only for 3 mins or until I notice that their little paws are starting to freeze, then I make them come in. If I were to take them OUT like for a walk or something, I'd put a little sweater on them. I do not put booties on them, but I keep saying that I need to buy some so maybe this year I will.
