Zoey and I started out in the warm climate of San Antonio, TX, and then got thrown in the MONTHS and MONTHS of cold Chicago weather! Honestly, I think that I dislike it more than SHE does!

Zoey does HATE the mushy gray salted half-melted snow stuff. She will refuse to walk on it at all. But, once I let her loose in a field of fresh powdery white snow, and she went to town running and rolling around, hopping up and down. It was great!

She hates the rain and especially the cold rain...I do make her come out to go potty, but she usually goes real quick then runs back toward the front door!

I'd be happy to take one and post it. I bought him a new denim coat from Target so I'll post them together.

Baxter is great out in the snow. We shovel a path completely around the house for him. But, I got him in December so he's used to it.

Ok, good info. Thanks. What do you do for static? Some days Sadie's coat is just all over the place?

Mason is pad trained, and hates to go outside in the rain or snow. He'll just stand still at the door and look up at me like, "I know you're not expecting me to go out there!!"

Do they like snow? I imagine some do, and some don't.
Mason will walk on snow, but his legs will get really wet and soon enough he'll start shivering.

Do they get cold easily?
yes!! He shivers in 50 degree weather.

Do you put sweaters on them?
I try, but Mason actually hates wearing anything. WHen I finally get a sweater on, he'll fight with me to get it off...and when it's finally off, there's so much static and matting that I have to brush him right away and he hates that as well

I took Sadie out this morning, and the grass had lots of dew on it.
She did not like it, and I had to dry her off before coming inside.
I'm live in area where there's no grass for dew to accumulate on, but I DO wipe his feet before getting back inside and he starts jumping on my white bed!!

Thanks.

I posted them in the My Yorkie! section. They're not the greatest pictures.
