Pomeranian Turns into ‘Snow Pom Pom’ During First Snow Adventure
A tiny Pomeranian named Grizzly Bear gave his mom a good laugh when he ventured into the snow and transformed into a “snow pom pom.”
Grizzly Bear’s mom described the 2-year-old dog’s reaction when he first saw snow outside of their home in East Meadow, New York. “He is typically excited to go outside in the morning and he was this time as well, but when he first saw the snow in the yard, he paused. He was shocked, I think, thinking ‘who did this to my yard??'”
Despite the snow, Grizzly Bear went out for his usual patrol. “He is very territorial since we moved into the house, he barks when dogs walk past in front of our house or when the mail is dropped off. Also makes sure to scare away birds and squirrels. He thinks he is a large guard dog,” she said.
When he came back inside, he gave his mom quite a surprise. “When I came inside and picked him up, I was shocked and screamed for my boyfriend to come see Grizzly immediately,” she shared. “We were laughing so hard!”

Little Grizzly Bear turned into such a cute abominable snow dog! It’s so adorable to see him snoozing after his snowy adventure.
Snowballs on your dog’s fur is funny to look at, but snow can make your dog cold and knot their fur. Plus they create big wet puddles in your home. So here are some suggestions for safely removing snowballs from your dog’s fur. Whatever method you choose, avoid pulling the ice or snow off your dog – this can be very painful for them. And after you have removed the snowballs, use a dog brush or comb to prevent mats from forming.
This first tip became a viral hit. The suggested tool is a kitchen utensil most of us have in the home – a wire whisk. Many dog owners have said it really works at removing ice balls from a dog’s underbelly and legs. But others have pointed out it won’t work on your dog’s paws and doesn’t work with all types of snow or certain kinds of dog fur. A slicker dog brush may work much better on your dog’s fur and will prevent knots in the fur.
Warm water is a good, gentle way to simply melt the snowballs off. Put your dog in the bathtub or shower and use a hose or bucket to apply the warm water to the snow. Or if you prefer you can use a washcloth dipped in warm water (remember not hot water!). You can also try a hair dryer on the low-heat setting if your dog doesn’t mind it.
A dog snowsuit will help keep snowballs at bay. And the gentlest least intrusive method? Wipe snow off with a towel and allow the snow to simply melt.
