I see that's not what you're doing right now.

And no, we haven't won until Trump's locked up.

2. What do you do if you have a dog that hates winter?

As soon as I open the door, he backs right up - and I don't blame him, I'm not a fan either.

3. Our dear departed dog loved winter

The colder it was, the more he liked to linger, stopping to take in the aroma of some unseen dog urine every five inches. If you ever had to walk a Tibetan Terrier in 60 below zero Minnesota windchills, you’d be in tears ... tears that would immediately freeze on the surface of your face.

I could do it back then, but I don’t want to do it anymore.

5. Awww, those are adorable dogs!

My Jack is a Brussels Griffon, a small dog, but pretty big for the breed. My other Griff was 8 lbs., Jack is 24lbs.! He's 14 now, but he's always hated weather. Even when he was a puppy (I adopted him at 5 months, pet shop rescue), if he even heard rain outside, he'd back right up from the door, same as he did today. It didn't help when the first snowfall of the season was 34 inches(!) and he had a good sized area cleared for him, but the "walls" were 3x as tall as he is! So he's been reluctant to go out ever since.

Jack

6. Jack deserves to have his way with the weather!

And at age 14 (remarkable), he has earned the right to have things any way he wants. What a sweet doggie.

Don’t they all have their own special personalities?
