When I was a kid we had an Irish Setter named Ginger. Every years when it began to snow, she wouldn't go to the bathroom on it...she would try to find a spot of green to do her business. In Michigan this didn't work for long, and by the time spring came she was so used to going on snow she didn't want to go anywhere else...she insisted on going on one of the few melting piles left in the yard. Those piles were pretty nasty, I tell ya! LOL!
Bodhi LOVES the snow....which is good, because we live in the mountains and get LOTS of it. He saves the day when it is 4 feet deep...he's big enough to plow a path through it for the other dogs! LOL!
