Do you have outside shelters for them?
I volunteer at a rescue shelter, and our critters are out whenever the weather permits, often for several hours at a time. But they have covered areas in case of rain/drizzle, and doghouses full of straw if the temp takes a sudden, unexepected drop. They are moved inside when conditions take a turn for the worse, but they do seem to enjoy their time in the yard--even in winter.
Your pets look so happy and cared for--the picture in the link made me smile!
