Sadie loves playing and sniffing around out in the snow. She does not, however, enjoy wearing her snowsuit. I remember hating when my Mom made me wear a snowsuit when I was a kid. But I understand wanting to make sure your child is safe and warm. During the first snowfall of the season I usually put Sadie in her snowsuit and bring her outside. I want her to enjoy the snow, but I also want to protect her from the clumps of snow that get stuck to her fur if her belly isn’t fully covered. Sadie sniffs around for a little while, but then sits down and starts giving me the sad puppy eyes. Inevitably I give in and take off her snowsuit, allowing her to run around and have fun without any hindrances. I love watching her have fun playing in the snow, but I do not enjoy the hour afterward I spend trying to get the cold, wet clumps out of her hair.
