best snowball removal after a winter frolic???

Does anyone have any advice on removing all the snowballs after we go out to play? Duke and I have so much fun playing in the snow but when we come inside I always feel bad that he is covered in snow and try to brush it out but it seems like there must be a better way. Also I remember seeing someone on here had a full snowsuit, does anyone know where to get one?

We put Benson in the tub and rinse them off with warm water. Since we're just melting them, we don't actually have to wet her to the skin, so it's not like giving her a real bath. (We have a RinceAce 8-foot pet shower hose, which makes it easy to reach everywhere she gets them - best $25 we ever spent!)

Here's the link to the snowsuit (with thanks to Charm and Brenda for pointing us to that): http://www.inthecompanyofdogs.com/itemdy00.aspx?T1=D11623%20BK%2012&ref=us&site=DG

Keep enjoying that snow!
Yeah, the shower is the best, quickest. Everything else is too long or painful. Snow?? what is that? Haven't seen it for a few years.
thanks for the help. We hadn't seen it for a few years either. We just moved back to NH from AL and got here just in time for over 2 feet! The problem is Duke doesn't fit in our current shower.... hopefully renovating the bathroom this year, but right now it is a tiny shower.
Mine just go in their crates and I put a space heater on aimed at them.
Blast them off with a high velocity dog dryer.
I use a slicker brush and blow dryer and sit him on a large towel. Or have him go lay on his bed until they melt a bit and I will brush him out. Shower option is out for is too as it is so cold here if he gets wet it takes so long to dry (would have to blow dry anyway) and I don't like letting him go out damp. He is so in love with the blow dryer that if I am doing my hair he will sit on my feet and wait for his turn :)

That is basically what I do. He seems to enjoy the attention I just feel bad as it seems so chilly.
