1. I am such a sucker for these kinds of threads - thanks!

PS my dog is from the south, she hates the snow, ha ha . She hates the cold - runs out to pee then runs back in.

Number 2 looks a little like my baby, but she is an old dog with grey on top of her head now, ha. Not quite a energetic, definitely as crazy. But really hates winter.

3. mine always loved the snow. my last little furkid loved to eat the snow

and she'd eat it until she'd start shivering if i didn't stop her in time.

she would have loved this snowfall we've gotten and are about to get more on top of it. i'm watching these videos and i'm smiling, laughing and crying.

4. I know the feeling. My sadie passed on 10 years ago and she loved the snow.

once we got so much snow it was on the ground from November until some time in April. Never saw a year like that before or after - couldn't walk her in the salted street because her feet had cracked over the years and she would not wear shes, so I pouned a track in the back yard where she could walk with little bathroom stops off to the side. The snow was over her head, but had a strong crust after a few weeks and was not fun for her to walk in. She would just run in the circles of the track, and I kept adding to it so she had choices. Loved that doggy.

5. i did that when we had a major snowstorm a few years ago

it was the first winter she came to live with me (she was a rescue dog, ten years old) and i made a huge path around the yard. the snow was over three feet high and she was a little dog. but she LOVED the path and i'd put her leash on her (she was used to a leash i guess) and she would RUN so fast and i'm trying to keep up with her! it was so funny, so wonderful--it was heaven...
