My former Goldens loved the snow, and Jake the 7 month old Golden can’t get enough. He will stay out long after the other dogs have decided they have had enough. Shep and Pinky like the snow, and love to tear around in it with Jake. Tobey and Chiwi both have little hair and only like the snow for a minute at a time. Charlie the beagle can’t decide if he likes it or not.
Otto is a five year old lab, and he loves it. Living outside Seattle he’s only seen it a few times, but boy, does it spell “party” for him! Lily and Emma are our two indoor cats. Lily didn’t mind, but Emma, the black one that just turned one in September, was extremely pissed of at it. It had fallen overnight and she discovered it when I opened the curtains the next morning. She saw everything covered in a blanket of white and immediately stood up with her paws against the window and unleashed a stream of graphic cat curses at the snow for the next two minutes (she a very talkative cat). I had to pick her up and soothe her jangled nerves, and she wouldn’t go near the window for anything more than a glance for three days, until it melted away. Never saw anything like it!
Years ago I had a smallish black Lab. I was living in Montana at the time and we spent a few years there. She loved the snow. I went back to New Mexico and was visiting with my mom in Alamogordo. It was summer. Hot. We took a drive with some friends to White Sands National Monument. Did I mention it was hot? As we were driving through the dunes to a play area, Darcy got so excited seeing what looked for all the world to be mounds of snow. Cold, refreshing snow. We parked, and she jumped out of the car and ran over to bite a big mouthful of…sand. Poor puppy couldn’t figure out what was wrong. We had to get back to the tourist center rather quickly to get her some fresh water.
My 2 barn cats either stay up on our porch, in the hay room or in Jack’s case, in the barn office. Spike has a well-insulated “dogloo” with lots of soft blankets and a self-heating kitty bed. He only comes out to go to the bathroom and eat, and Jack will come up on the porch to have breakfast and dinner. If it’s not too cold, he’ll sleep up on the porch in one of the chairs that has a thick pillow and a blanket on it.
My horses LOVE the snow. Both of them act like they’re babies again, playing in the snow, trying to roll in it, eat it, the whole nine yards. I’m going to try and get pictures asap because we have about 7 inches of snow right now and they’d make such cute photos.
We have our backyard cat-proofed so the ladies can go out when they want to - when it’s cold and snowy, they don’t want to. They’ll go out a little bit on the shovelled paths if it’s nice and sunny, but mostly they aren’t interested.
We have a Lab who was born in Malaysia (where iti is 92F and 100% humidity all the time) , he hated going outside and would generally lie legs splayed on the cold stone floors cooling his bits.
We moved to Utah in winter and he was a whole different dog, he loves ploughing through neck deep powder and generally shoving his face in snow banks snuffling around for who knows what. I think the snow dampend out all the existing smells so every new snow fall the back garden or whereever is a whole new unmarked world for him
One year our female cat had a litter of kittens in fall, they loved running and hoping around in the deep snow. there were tons of little kitty burrows on the front lawn. plus the hundreds of tiny paw prints on the porch were cute.
No dog likes snow like Bailey.
That reminds me of this image. (From here.)
I have two dogs now, both Pembroke Welsh Corgis; the younger, Elwood, likes snow fairly well but not as much as when he was younger and would drag his belly and back legs through it. The elder one, Scooter, isn’t really impressed by it. They both eat it.
Another dog I had, another Corgi, Corky, who is now dead, had a routine when it got cold out: When she went out, every so often she’d have to go as far out as possible to mark territory. So we’d be marching along though snow nearly as deep as she was tall (seriously: her prow-like chest cut through the drifts) in weather down to -40 sometimes until she found a spot. Then she’d turn around and maybe go a few steps until she’d look back at me and raise one of her front paws. That was my clue to pick her up and carry her the rest of the way. I’m lucky she was so small.
Please do, I’d love to see horses playing in the snow 
My older dog has never cared for it. He was homeless before we adopted him so I imagine it was never a thrill to be stuck in the snow. He doesn’t even like to get his feet wet now. I am looking forward to seeing how the pup reacts since it’ll be his first. Every dog I’ve ever had before loved prancing about in the snow.
My cats hate it of course. Cats are smart.
I had a shepherd/husky that would go in the yard and curl up and sleep. The snow would cover him and he would just sleep away.
Mini-aussie, she loves it. The cat seems to be kind of “meh” about it. But she’s only ever seen it on the balcony as she’s strictly an indoor cat. She never acted all EEEEeeek about it the times she’d go out on the balcony, but she didn’t stay out there very long either.
Oh Please! A claim like this MUST be backed up with photographic evidence. 
The ourdoor cats hate snow, with good reason. The indoor cats love it, because it means that the Food Giver Persons will be hunkering down and not going to work, so they have laps all day.
I had a husky shepherd mix that was the same =)
It was hysterical, had some people visiting, and they were all butthurt about us leaving the poor doggie outside all the time … so we got her into the house [you open the back door and call 'treat time and she would bounce into the house in that sappy cheerful way that huskies all seem to have] and shut the door. Gave her an all beef hotdog [her common treat and how we gave her pills upon occasion] which she inhaled and she immediately turned and went out the doggie door. The people sort of were all ‘d’oh- doggie door so she could come in any time she wanted …:smack:’ She really didn’t even like coming inside in the summer, we have this 2 foot wide lowered area around the house that is lined with crushed rock for drainage, she loved curling up in it in the shade. She would also sleep in a pit she dug under her dog house or on top of the dog house. :rolleyes: dogs is weird.
These dogs REALLY like snow.
