Kobe hates the snow. He won't move in a coat. He will only wear sweaters. I have tried the boots and he won't move in those either. He just gets too cold and runs to the door.

Don't give up! Here's Eddie at the beginning of this winter, fighting me every inch of the way.

I just kept putting his boots and coat on every day and sticking a treat in front of his nose. He'd take a few more steps each day. Eventually, he forgot he was wearing them.

As for coats, try the kind with no leg holes.

Thanks for the props, LaviniaHyacynth. A compliment from an artist as good as yourself makes me blush.

Thank-you Mike, You are too kind...you notice I don't have an avatar

Need to get my computer to accept the downsizer download...do you know any reason why an Apple iBook refuses all the programs?

If the programs are for PCs only, that could do it.

But if you've got an ibook, you should have iphoto, and iphoto is the easiest downsizer available. Let me know if you'd like instructions, and I'll PM you.

My aunt's little guy loves the snow. When he goes out, he burrows right into it. When he comes back inside he looks like one of those snow monkeys. lol.

How cute. My little baby also has a read coat. He loves the snow. I only leave him in it for like 5 minutes though because I don't want him to get sick.

We got the snow from that storm too, only we only got 10 inches (in York Co, PA). My Yorkie, Indiana, LOVES the snow! He will be a year old in 5 days and he is a bigger yorkie (12lbs) but he dives head first into the snow and plays until he has snow balls hanging everywhere off of him. He tries to follow his big brother, Hunter (German Shep), and it is so funny to watch. Hunter clears the snow, all you see of Indy is a little blob that keeps reappearing in the snow as he jumps after Hunter. If nothing else, it really wears him out! He slept pretty sound for a couple hours after he came in!

No fair talking about snow-loving Yorkies w/o posting pictures!

kindness_001 · 02-14-2006, 05:27 PM

just remember, don't eat the yellow snow...
