Only walks where it is shoveled? I have a cat who only walks on pavement and won’t walk on grass (she is indoor only but I sometimes take her outside in a harness). I had a cat who’d jump into snow higher than she was and leap into the air when you’d toss a snowball over her head, when then would either break apart or knock her on her back in the snow when her paw made contact with the snowball. She had a blast.
He is good w the snow up to his knees. After that he is OUT. I had to shovel the grass this morning, which made him a little happier…can you see the scowl on his face?
My B-I-L has used his snowblower to make a racetrack loop around their fenced backyard for their mini-puppers, but they had lake-effect snow about 2.5-3’ deep.
The more athletic ones do racing loops, while the older/more sedate models trundle around.
When our girls got old, and when Swiper’s knee got especially unhappy in the cold, I shoveled out most of our back yard, and trails to go to the tree and back so they’d be able to walk.
When they were younger they’d just leap into the snow and you could tell from the curve of the part of them you could see if you were going to have to do a little digging for pickup or not, but you knew they’d done their business.

@PhysAssist lucky puppies. My boys patch is about the size of a table since I had to shovel it
Baby boy figured out he could walk on top of the snow. He was so happy he inspected the whole yard a few times!!
@tinamarie1974 I take it he never any post hole action?
@Kidsandliz no, poms are not known for being an active breed
@Kidsandliz @tinamarie1974
Poms are just the best!

Snow was puppy-awesome! They loved it so.
