My Bigos loves the snow...I have to force him to come back in.
Does anyone's Yorkie love the snow..

I wish we had some snow to try it out, lol! BTW, you might want to post this in general forum

Spike also loves the snow, he tears around like a crazy thing and gets absolutely covered. Right now, though, it's really cold here (-25c) and has been for about a week now. What do other people do with their Yorkies when it's much too cold for them to go outside?

Roxie loves the snow. She leeps up in the air and zooms around in it so fast. She also buries her face in the snow and comes in with a pure white face. My other 2 do not like the snow at all.

Taz absolutely loves this snow. This is the first winter we've had him and I was a little nervous since he HATES being wet. He can be shivering outside and I have to make him comes inside. We also have a Great Pyrenees and they just jump around outside together. They love chasing each other and sliding in it and Taz loves burying his facve in the snow!! They are so adorable! We've had quite a bit of snow too so I've really enjoyed watching them!

JohnnieWalker · 12-23-2008, 06:06 PM

Walker likes the snow but not the sub-zero temps we're having. He also just got a haircut for the holidays and has very little protection any more. Mostly he will just go on the porch and do his business right there. We have to shovel a poop-path for the dogs or they won't leave the porch. Walker get's to wear coats whenever we ride in the car or are outside for any amount of time.

I just got this picture of one of my previous litter (now almost a year old), They had snow about 2 weeks ago *somewhere in Texas.......well he was so crazy about the snow , that they couldn't keep him out of it.
I'm wishing for some snow down here ....what fun that will be!!

sugarbritches · 01-09-2009, 06:06 AM

my spike loves the snow as well! we have about 2 feet right now and he has a ball bounding through it. I worry about him getting cold though because the temps do drop.

He has a few little jackets he wears and i dont let him stay out tooo long

ETA - that is a darling pic of one of your previous pups!! i need to take some like that

Oliviababy · 01-29-2009, 01:45 PM

Olivia is 2 months old and i was scared she would freeze at first but she absolutly loves the snow. We have to beg her to come in its funny....

Jane Sousa · 01-29-2009, 09:49 PM

Cookie absoutely loves the snow! She runs and eats it at the same time its so funny! Usually when we come home her face is covered in snow.

OnegusMom · 11-02-2009, 12:07 AM

I also worried about our Onegus being outside in the snow and cold. We live in N. Central WI so it can get pretty cold and deep here. We started with the normal coats you can buy at WalMart or pet stores. They didn't do much good, and boots won't stay on his feet because of his little "stick legs", goes out with 4 comes back with 1 or 2, lol. My solution was to find a doggie pattern for jammies with legs and make snowsuits for him. I made them slightly wider because I used double layers of outerwear fleece, extended the collars to cover his little ears, and added feet. He dives into snow banks, over them, under them and has no fear of the cold. The pattern was a very simple one and after the first one and the figuring the adjustments, they sew up pretty fast. He has 4 or 5 of them because they do get wet. We laugh about it being about as much fun as dressing a toddler to go out to play. We have to get bundled up first so he doesn't get overheated, then he gets dressed and we are ready to come in way before he is. We normally have to grab him up and carry him in.

boo-boo · 12-04-2009, 08:38 PM

My Baby LOVES Snow. As soon as we get out the door he starts hopping around in it...it's so funny to watch, he would make a great sled dog if he was a little bigger (he's only 5lbs) I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to deal with the little snowballs that attach themselves to his legs and belly. It's becoming very time consuming to blow dry him every time we come inside. I live in Northern Michigan and we get a LOT of very wet snow.

Darlene68 · 12-04-2009, 08:54 PM

Bailey loves the snow too! When it is really cold I don't put him out, but in milder temps I let him play outside for a bit, his feet get cold really quickly, so I am going to get him some boots which should help alot.

OnegusMom · 12-04-2009, 10:34 PM

Kind of funny around here....our Aussie runs out, does his stuff and is ready to come in, have his feet wiped and get warm. Onegus on the other hand stays out until WE are freezing, then has to dragged in. He also eats the snow as he runs through it. He burrows into snowbanks, climbs the ones he can't burrow into and wants to do his business in the farthest from the house, deepest snow he can find even though we have trails shoveled for the dogs. Thank God for his snowsuits and my heavy coat and snowpants or we wouldn't survive. 2 of his snowsuits have feet in them so his little feet don't stick to the cold stuff ( boots don't stay on Mr Sticklegs, lol) Tomorow I am adding feet to the other 3 snowsuits. Only his belly, but and tail get wet that way so I don't have to blow dry and melt off the snowballs.....they shake loose on the way back to the house.....unless he just flat out lays down and won't budge cause he doesn't want to go in.

Lilyshuman · 12-04-2009, 11:28 PM

Alright we need some snowbaby pictures on here!!!

Lily acts like snow is THE enemy, she will hold her pee if my husband doesn't shovel a path for her LOL

So I need to see pictures to believe it
