    Marta loves the snow and Adele doesn't really care (but she gets cold). Marta loves to dash through snow banks and stick her head in the snow. Today we have MORE snow (on top of about 6 inches) so it's a shame I can't send some to everybody who wants it!
    Here are some snow pics from a few years ago at the dog park when Adele was still a puppy:

    Sassy ran away in it once and she had a blast. It took me two hours to catch her and now she isn't allowed in the snow.

    I don't think Sam knows quiet what to think about it. But I do think she likes it some.

    My whole crew loves the snow.
    Especially Nanook, he'll lay out there for hours & hours in that white stuff. Sometimes when it's snowing hard out and he's sleeping, (all curled up in a ball to keep warm of course) and you can't even see him because the snow covered him up. I have to call him & see where the snow moves. lol He still doesn't want to come in though. The last few years I usually have to force him in the house. He doesn't want to come in but I know his arthritic joints just can't handle it like they used to.
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    Ginger loves the snow. I took her out real early (around 6:40 a.m.) Sunday morning so she could run around off lead, and play in it. She really loves to push her nose in it, and run and circles, and slide, and...yeah, she loves it all.

    Autumn was born in it, Dec. 3rd. SHe loves to run circles in it and stick her head in it and catch snowballs. She also loves to sniff along all the mouse tunnels in the driveway. Pepper loved it too. She would stand out there for hours and graze on the snow.

    I can't get them back in the house once they are out playing in it!!

    Happy LOVES snow, I always find it amusing when there is very little snow on the ground and somehow Happy manages to come in the house with more snow on herself then there is on the ground..I am not sure how she does it exactly lol

    Misty is indifferent about it, she could not care less one way or the other lol

    Perky HATES snow, she has a short single coat and is very low to the ground, in the winter she wont even step outside to pee real quick without her boots and jacket.

    Ripley is does not care a whole lot but he preferes summer just because he likes basking in the sun, he gets cold quickley in the winter but he is a tough guy and as my mom noticed yesterday happily runs around the yard on 3 legs lol

    Blair likes snow, he has a very long thick coat so he likes the cold, but he just as happily runs around in the snow as he does in the grass

    Jack - YES!
    Shadow - Sometimes (more so when she was younger)
    Mini - Once in a while
    Kyra and Micki - NO!

    Jack LOVES it, I literally have to drag him in the house, he would love just to stay out all day!! Shadow and Mini tolerate it but don't like to stay out too long, they do their business and are right back in. Both of them enjoy a good romp through it though. Micki and Kyra absolutely HATE it!! Once it starts getting cold Micki is glued to his little heater vent and has actually been sharing a bit with Kyra. Both would much rather be basking in the sun. They would never be caught playing in the snow, however Kyra does enjoy eating it.

    omg yes! They love the snow!! We try to keep them in the house, But they don't like that idea at all! they are nuts about the snow!! There favorite thing is the ice cubes that get frozen in the pool and to try to get that out and when I am throwing snow ball they try to catch them before they hit the ground!
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!
