Snow days are great for getting days off of school or work, but the best part is you get to stay home ALL DAY and bond with your pooch! If you get bored or run out of things to do, here’s a list of fun activities you and your dog can do together, featuring Kokoro the American Eskimo dog.

1. Dress them up in your clothes so they can stay warm and be super fashionable at the same time. Don’t worry, they’ll love it.
