Hey, I can't remember having seen those snow pics! Those are great!

Take it slow with Yorkies in the snow, and they can learn to love it. Stomp down the snow so they don't go in up to their necks, dress them in warm fleece, get them used to wearing booties so their pads aren't touching the snow. If you can keep them moving, they'll stay warm no matter how cold it gets. Then just pay attention to them. If they shiver and stop moving, it's time to quit or put them in your coat for a while. I have a 4 pounder who can walk for about 5 minutes at a time. My 9 pounder can go 30 minutes. So in a 30-minute walk, I'll let the 4-pounder out about 3 times for 5 minutes each time. That's not a bad walk. Most important: Take pictures and vids!
