Cool

6. I will wager that (s)he is not cold, just comfy

In our long line of rescues over the last fifty years, we’ve had at least three dogs who thought falling asleep in a snow storm was nirvana. A Saint, a Samoyed and a Pyrenean Mastiff, or as close as we could guess, given that they were all rescues. We also had a Setter? that loved to do it, but only if I would cover him with my hoodie first.

All would resist any efforts to get them to come in as long as the snow was falling. More than a few times the dog would disappear and you’d have nothing but a strange lump of a snow drift in the yard.
