Snow Babies


Dogs love snow... ok, let me re phrase that. Big dogs love snow. Little dogs, far too often, think snow is just a dirty trick. But, really, think about it from your little dogs perspective. Their chest is inches from the ground (and in my dog Morocco's case his chest touches even the freshly mowed grass), so going outside in the cold icy snow is more than just wet feet!
If your little dog is having issues going potty in the snow, consider getting a small patch of artificial grass to place on the ground, near their favorite potty spot. It will keep them on the routine of going to the bathroom outside, but it will allow for drier conditions, making it more comfortable to be outside.
