Question about doodles and snow

[jenn D]

I can't believe I am asking this question being from the southwest but how do you all handle drying your doodles off after snow romps? Or do you? We had a big snow storm for us, it snowed all day yesterday and some more is coming down today. We have about 6-8 inches now which is very significant for us. We never get snow and should have it through the weekend. My boys love it but how long do you let them romp in it and how or do you dry them off? I'm worried about their paws getting frostbite. I can't let them out every hour to play or my house, carpeting and furniture would be soaked. These 50-60 lb standards are powerful and keep knocking my 6 year old son down in the snow. Lol! Luckily my 9 year old steers clear of them and goes to the lower yard or she would be plowed down too.
Thanks!

Thanks everyone. It warmed up to 47 late afternoon today and melted our snow but the boys and kids had a blast for 24 hrs. That's it for us until next year. I appreciate the advice and feel for all of you who have this regularly.
