Our 3 year old Pyr loves the snow.  He'll curl up until he's
completely covered with snow (and imposible to find).  If we
try to bring him in the house, he just looks at us like weve
lost our minds.

Dear Sheryl (and others),

I have had the same question. We just adopted a 3-year-old
female, Sugar,
from a family who was "downsizing," and today, with about
three inches of
snow, she only wants to be outside. When she's not running
around (loving
the snow!), she wants to lie on the front porch, and she's
there now
sleeping like a baby, curled up like she's in front of a
fire. So, we've
wondered, is this her native preference for cold mountain
weather coming
out? We live in the North Carolina mountains, not exactly
the Pyrenees, but
... quite nice! Boy is she a wonderful addition to our
family. She and one
of our other (two) dogs are loving and kissing each other
all the time!

Thanks for any suggestions and responses.

Suzanne Bell
