Does your dog enjoy sub-zero temps???

[Dreeza]

Cause Oakley sure does. Fun for him...not so much for me.

I just took him on a 45 minute walk in weather that was -25 degrees w/windchill. And he loved every second.

Sometimes I'm not sure if he is freezing, but he doesn't act cold if he is...

Instead, he just runs around like an ABSOLUTE maniac...I mean, rediculousness...he was leaping & bounding through snow up to his belly the entire time!!

I wish I coulda taken videos but if my hands hadn;t frozen, then I think the camera would have.

Nope, not Brenna, She just goes outside to go potty, but not a second longer.

 

[MyHorseMyRules]

Not mine! Raja and Tempie are both sleeping with me now, usually tucked in as close to me as possible. Poor little Raja even climbed under the covers this morning.

Bimmer loves the cold. Kharma does - unless there's a lot of wind. Tallulah? :rofl1: She looks at me like she is just certain I could do something about it.

 

[SizzleDog]

The dobes HATE it, but Ada loves it. Crazy double coated dog...

 

[inspector16]

It's funny because all 3 of mine love it when they're out in it, but as soon as we come back inside, Roxy the terrier mix trots over to the fire and then stands with her butt right up against it, giving me this look like "What? My butt's cold".

Morgan isn't a big fan of cold, but he LOVES snow. I need to get him a coat and/or muttluks or something...

Now rain... that is no fun in any circumstance.

 

[Gypsydals]

Ivan NO WAY!! After all his jewels are exposed to the snow and wind. Peewee loves it, and suddenly wants to run and jump in it like hes a young dog again. Like Sizzle said, crazy double coated dogs.

 

[Backward_Cinderella]

Doom loves it... Bobsie on the other hand.. hellz no. rofl

 

[Psyfalcon]

Buster has not met subzero, but several times this week, he has been snowed/iced over after walking or skijoring through 20F weather. Last night he actually had freezing rain freeze to his fur, and he didn't give it a second look.

 

[CharlieDog]

Enzo doesn't seem to care. Oz, while he has a good coat, it's not thick enough to really withstand the temps we're having here right now. He goes to pee and tries to get right back in the house. He'll stand at the door looking miserably at me (I look miserably right back at him, the dogs are always supervised in the yard) until he realizes that he has to poop too. Then he'll go poop and come racing back.

Enzo on the other hand races around the yard having an absolute blast the whole time.

 

[PWCorgi]

Izzy loves the snow and freezing cold, she thinks it's the best thing evah!!

Frodo hates it, he'd rather be curled up in GreenChair.

 

[Baxter'smybaby]

I usually have to call Trav back in--she used to romp in the snow. Now that she is older, she sort of strolls through it, but seems to enjoy it.
Baxter--noooooway--he goes out, does his business and bounds back in.
Wilson--poor guy with short legs and deep chest--he is dragging or bouncing through the snow just to do his thing, then back in the house.

We haven't had any sub zero weather here yet this year. Usually we'll get a cold snap for a couple weeks where it'll be single digits.

Gunnar doesn't care about the cold. I think he prefers it. He'll sit outside on the porch and just watch his "territory".

Daisy isn't real into the cold. She'll go out and play with us but she's not into hanging around outside without a human with her. It's do her business and get back inside. Bruzer is pretty much the same way.

Buzz hates the cold. This is the coldest weather he's ever seen, since he spent his whole life down south. He'll run out, do his thing, and be back barking and jumping at the door to come in.

 

[bubbatd]

It doesn't faze Ollie !

 

[LauraLeigh]

Foster LOVES it, cold, wind, snow.... whatever it throws at him he loves, comes in with little *ice balls* on him!!!! ( He is not as fond of extreme heat tho...)

Mindy & Max are not bothered by it, but while Max will play in it Mindy is getting older and is not as playful in the snow/cold anymore...

Diamond used to like it, but ever since she went blind, the snow/extreme cold really freak her out, she gets disoriented and lost very easily (I can be two feet away and have to talk to her constantly or she panics ). She is clearly scared when she has to go out in bad winter weather and it is the only time that I feel truly sad for her, she does so well the rest of the time but the cold/snow terrify her.

Molly hates extreme cold with a passion.... she cannot handle it even with a coat if it is bone chilling cold out, and honestly, she is the first dog that I have ever had to use a pee pad because she just freezes in the extreme cold... I have pee pads that surround sides of the birds playpen and she just uses those, it means I have to change them more often but for her comfort I don't mind (Her pees are quarter sized and her poops very teeny so they don't cause odor issues at all)

 

[sisco16]

My huskys love it but we have no fenced in yard, and its to cold to go to the dog park today its like -16.

 

[iluvdogs]

YES...Skyler and Trike LOVE playing outside, we have a TON of snow and its -30 here with windchill.

They are ALWAYS asking to go outside, but we only let them out for a bit because its SO COLD !!!

 

[smkie]

WE in unison abhor it.

 

[Sweet72947]

Daisy can take it or leave it, she prefers if its warm. In the summer she'll lie in the sun on 80 degree days. My silly black doggie, she's rather like me.

Benji LOVES the cold, and HATES the hot. If its over 70 degrees and we haven't shaved him down he lies there and pants miserably. Its pretty cold here right now, and he loves to go out and sit there basking in it.
