<p>I hope you enjoy witnessing your girls' first snow experiences, Bella reverts to being a complete puppy in the snow and hares round like a loony. I always have to remember to have a special tasty treat in my pocket when we venture out in the snow otherwise I don't get a look in and would never get her back in the house because she is enjoying herself too much! </p>

<p>Thanks! Wil make sure we wash their paws, and we might also try the vaseline!</p>
<p>As for the anti freeze, we'll just have to be careful!</p>

<p>Thank you all for sharing your experiences, we really are rookies when it comes to snow and don't want to make what should be a wonderful experience into a nasty one!</p>

<p>Vaseline on paws can help snow sticking and a warm hair dryer is an easy way to melt "snowballs" in feathers on return.</p>

<p>Thanks Camilla,</p>
<p>very helpfull! I'm guessing we'll be near 0 ºC most of the time. We'll make sure we don't let our dogs freeze to see the sights! :-)</p>
<p>What's concerning me more is swore paws really, none of the dogs have ever walked on snow or ice and I'm not sure if I should protect their paws or anything like that! But cutting hair short is a good idea, and we do it for mud anyway! :-)</p>
