LOL!
When we had our cold snap here, he was *so happy.* Leaping around,
spinning, jumping. A sight to see, when a 170-lb dog does that. Even
though it rained, he was outdoors most of the time by choice. He has a dog
door so he can go in and out.
He likes to be outside at night and talk to - bark at - the dogs that live
about 150 yards down the road. He barks. They bark. He barks. Etc. I
used to get him back into the house after a bit of that and lock him in, but
he loves the cold so much I haven't had the heart to do it lately.
He has dug a shallow, contoured hole in the yard that he naps in.
