Earlier in the week, we had our spring storm of the century with about 
10-12" of snow here in town.  Kazak had been out for his pre bedtime 
run and came in to his crate.  About 30 minutes later, Kazak was 
grumbling and yipping, getting more agitated and letting me know he 
was displeased. Thinking he wanted out, I did so and when he came in 
he went to the bed in the den, refusing to go to his crate.  I took a look 
and all those big snow balls on his legs had melted in the crate and 
there was a puddle of cold water on the crate pads.  No way was Kazak 
going to sleep in cold water.  So I mopped up the mess, got a nice dry 
doggy blanket to line the crate and sent Kazak to crate.  He stood in the 
crate, rearranged the blankie to his satisfaction, flopped down and not 
another peep was heard all night! :)
