A Chocolate Havanese Puppy Took His Seat on a Sled and Waited

AI imagehavanese puppysnowsled

A fuzzy chocolate-brown Havanese puppy sits upright on a wooden sled, with snow all around and a little pine branch fallen beside him. His expression is thoughtful, as if he is deciding whether this is a ride or a seat. A wreath with a red bow hangs on the door of the house behind him, and a wooden fence runs along the snowy yard. The winter sun is soft and low.

Snow is delightful for puppies, but small, fluffy dogs can get cold quickly. Keep outings short, and watch for shivering, lifting paws or reluctance to move, which mean it is time to go inside. Dry your pup off after playing in snow, and check paws for ice balls between the toes. Salt and de-icing products on sidewalks can irritate paws and upset stomachs if licked, so wipe paws afterward. A puppy's coat may need a trim around the feet to prevent snow from clumping. Make sure fresh water is available inside. Havanese coats are silky and need regular brushing, especially after snow, to avoid tangles. A warm towel and a cozy bed finish off a good snow day. If your puppy seems unsure about the snow, a short, happy visit is plenty.

The sled is not moving, and the puppy has no complaints. Sometimes the best part of a winter day is simply sitting in it.
