Now that we've had Gordy for a year, I would say that he generally has less energy in wintertime. (We are currently living at 50-something degrees north.) He likes to get up with the sun, so with short days he wants to get up later and naps a lot and doesn't have as much energy to burn off. When the days are long he is up with the sun and wants lots of long walks and endless games of fetch. Maybe he's solar-powered!

I don't think it affects his mood all that much. He's his happy cuddly self all year round.
