My dog is a wuss.

He doesn't do it with me. (Go after rocks and sticks and the like.) He only does it with the wife. She's a soft touch with him all of the time, so he figures he can run over her.
If she were half as tough with him as she is with me, we'd not be having this problem.

So I just took Cosmo outside. It's still misting light ice right now. He looked around a bit (he hates getting his feet wet) but soldiered on out into the yard. The first 40 mph gust of wind hit and he RAN back up on the deck to go back into the house.
He is NOT Husky or Malamute material.

We got down to 3F (-16C) and got a total accumulation of 16 in (41 cm). Just got the plow about 3 hrs ago
My daughter filmed Cosmo on the back deck when the snow first started. He's never seen snow before.

Wait until you get a real snowfall and he realizes he loves to sleep in it.
We had a snowball fight after about 3 inches piked up. I was up on the deck dropping snowballs on Cosmo.
It was hysterical because he was only thinking two dimensionally. He'd look around for where it came from but never look up.
It wasn't until I burst out laughing and he looked up that he realized what was going on.

Just got back from the vet.
Saturday night, my wife noticed a bare spot on the back on Cosmo's leg. I didn't see it until Sunday because Cosmo is not the "show and tell" kind of dog that some are.
So up to vets I go and he goes full blown drama queen. Again. A Doberman that was there looked over with a Spock "fascinating" raised eyebrow look. A few moments later a pug walks in, looks over at Cosmo going full Ella Fitzgerald, then looks at me as if to say, "the bigger they are, eh?"
God, what an embarrassing dog.
Another cone of shame, antibiotics and anti-itch pills.
