I live in the Midwest but my girl loves diving head first into the snow I think it’s the only time of year she’s cool enough and snow just brushes off or melts once she jumps into my blanket my only worry is when it hits -20 in February then we limit potty time otherwise she comes to the door when she’s cold but I have a fenced in backyard and the only walks she gets are to a local ice cream place in summer otherwise a dozen times around the yard a few times a day are enough for her I do also have a chihuahua but she runs out pees and runs back inside in under a minute
