Also, one time, in the middle of winter last year with 6 inches of snow and -10 temps I let him out. I told him to sit and stay while I got snow shoveled. I was so cold, I went in the back door.
Then, I realized I has forgotten about him 3 hours eariler. I rushed to the front door thinking he had run off and been hit by a car, but he was sitting in the exact same place I has left him, hadn't moved an inch in that weather for 3 hours.
He was freezing cold, so I brought him in and put him in my covers, and cuddled with him until he warmed back up. Poor Geiv, never left him out there like that again, I felt bad for it, but he the best behaved dog I have ever seen.
