Buddy at work also loved snow... Dogs usually roll in stinky dead things but that goofy bugger rolled in snow. RIP buddy.

Mine rolls in fresh woodchips. Gives him a nice fresh chopped wood scent.

Getting a bernese mountain dog has made me appreciate winter so much more because he loves it so damn much!

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

My dog is half bernese, but has no long hair at all cause it is also half pit bull. It doesn't even like to go out in the rain.

Warning: anything with too heavy a roof can collapse and trap/crush the dog. This one looks fine, but if you do it, bear it in mind.

Probably not chicken. It's dangerous to give dogs chicken bones cause they're so brittle they can choke on the shards.

Ah, should've expected to be downvoted. I should really emphasize the fact that this dog is on a 4' chain made for towing purposes.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

Due to the fact that they left the dog out for over 4 hrs, when it was -2 out, with wind chills. I somehow doubt that's tolerable.

that's warm, dude. Below -15, I understand, but the only problem is the chain if it's not long enough.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I'd say with the wind chill, it was well below -20 F that night. And yeah, the chain is only like 5' long, as the most. And it's HEAVY.

It gets down to -40 here. It's what Huskies are bred for. Even the shelter keeps all the Huskies outside on chains year-round. 2
