For Gus, a poodle-mix, it was all fun and games until the snow balled up turning him into a mini Michelin Man who couldn’t waddle home.

Three tricks that keep curly-furred friends safe in the snow:

1.  Spray olive oil on their paws to keep the snow from bunching up between toes.

2.  Ask the stylist to do a short trim on the legs.

3.  Get a fashionable jacket.
