I happened to speak with Sunny's breeder this past weekend; she lives in Sasketchewan, Canada and said yes, it was cold and they had snow. We chatted about Sunny and generally and I mentioned I was looking for some kind of snow suit or rain suit to keep his coat dry and keep him warm; she sort of offhandedly said, "good luck with that", Sunny has never worn clothes ....." I thought it was funny. Us regular pet owners (as opposed to breeders, showers, etc.) figure it's part of winter. I may use some booties for the snow, if he tolerates, so we'll see. I guess it's colder up there, too.

Bella just got groomed for the second time for Christmas but she only goes out on a leash for her necessaries....as we don't have a fenced yard....was thinking about a sweater for her but she really only stays out for as long as it takes for her to do her business...this will be her first winter....can't wait to see how she will react to snow if we have any....

My whippet has a coat that he wears a couple of times a year at night in his crate (I turn the heat down at night), but that's it.
