 Snow balls
Hey I live in Virginia and get a nice variety of weather in the winter I usually have to snow shovel a place for my guys to mill around in and go to the bathroom in. If they want to go exploring they are usually good and can walk ontop of the snow, 'specially if it iced. Panzer loves the snow but his fur is the type that balls the snow making him into a snow dog, so I have to defrost him in the tub with warm water when I get in the snow is so packed into his fur. It doesnt happen to all our yorkies only some. I know he gets cald but I let him on a leash to explore since he enjoys it and if he could he would keep going and freeze to death so I try to use my best judgement of when he's had enough snow.
Our dogs dont like rain or getting their butts wet. I think they can deal with the dew on the ground but I think if they really dont want to go on the ground they go on our porch! |
