We know that Fletch has a tendency to go too far and not be able to come back on his own sometimes... so when we don't go down in shoes, we know we take a chance that we get cold feet rescuing him. LOL He has done this many times. We see the warning signs, where he starts lifting one leg, then another, until he just can't take another step and lays down right where he is. He had me go out in thigh high snow to rescue him once. He didn't go through the snow, but I did with every step!

I used to have a little Min Pin that did this exact same thing. The first time it happened it scared me to death until we figured out it was the cold. She was a special needs baby with nerve damage to a hip and I often wondered if that made the cold worse. She was the most thin skinned, cold blooded baby I ever had. I hardly never seen her during the winters because she was under a blanket somewhere.
