We had a huge bllizzard- and since this was Finn's first snow (besides the one when he was neutered, couldn't play in that snow) he was thrilled! Since he's so furry, the snow stuck to him like glue. Thankfully, I got a photobucket account and I can make the pictures smaller. ;) He reminded me of a turtle.











And you can't see in the pictures, but on his tummy fur there was these perfectly-shaped balls of ice...it was hilarious yet it looked painful!

Yes, I meant to make the pictures a bit bigger so you could see the actual snow on him. And here's his sister (a relative has her) her name is Maisie;




She looks about the same now, this was when my relatives first got her with Finn. She's just a bit taller now.

Finn's a bit taller than Maisie, and as you can see, Finn's more poodle because he doesn't shed, and Maisie is more border collie because of her sleek coat and the way she is thinly built.








I took this picture about a month and a half ago...

Yesterday the 13th was Finn and Maisie's 7 Month birthday!

They both are so adorable---Finn's a lucky boy that you'll let him play in it!! Painful? I understand what you meant...I think I got a headache similiar to a ice cream head rush just by looking at the first pic!!!

My aunt suggested getting a bowl of warm water ready before the dog comes in - she would dip her poodle-mix's paws in the water, and then towel them before letting her loose in the house. My dog, though, wouldn't have stood for that - he loved the snow but hated water - so I would brush out the ices balls from his coat and pick them out of his paws on my enclosed porch before letting him inside.

:) Actually, he was out twice that week (not including multiple times to pee.) And he WILL NEVER come back from our tiny backyard, he dodges me pretty quick. It can take 30-60 minutes to fish him back in.

cynthiadogmom; I do something similar. Since the snow is all over him, and the balls of snow on his stomach are the size of golfballs, we just give him a luke-warm bath to melt the snow away.
