On those dark, cloudy, gloomy afternoons, where the sun refuses to show, shoot the slowest shutter that your lens can handle.
Because we are using a slower shutter, try and catch your pet while still. It will create a sharper image.
Use flash, even the on-board flash if needed.
In the Pacific Northwest where I live, Winter doesn't cater to expensive, electronic, photography gear. That doesn't stop any photos from happening. Just keep the gear as dry as possible.
Pets are great practice. Use those opportunities to sharpen your skills.
Use any ambient light you can, including windows and doors...even garage doors.
A tripod can be worth its weight in gold for shooting indoors.
Outside, it is generally easy to shoot in Aperture Mode, and have complete control of depth-of-field. In dark conditions, we shoot in Shutter Mode, and we manipulate the aperture via exposure and ISO.
Cheat those boundaries, and underexpose. Shoot open apertures and shutters that are just fast enough.
Use a tripod, if you can.
Always practice, if you have the time.
