We have 11 month old German Shepherd puppies that love the snow as much as we do. The female tries to catch the snowflakes as they are falling and her little head is turning all over the place like she's got her eye on a single flake. Our male loves to dig up snowballs or chunks of ice and play hockey with in on the patio until it falls apart. They just love it!

HOW FUN!!! We had a German Shepherd years ago and she was so crazy in the snow! Thanks for the great story: I can see your pups now frolicking everywhere in this winter wonderland! Best wishes, enjoy your little ones, and stay warm!

I had a Husky for many years, and the snow made him come alive. Dig, Dig, Dig with the snow flying out behind him. Unless it was extremely cold, he was happier in my unheated garage than in the house. I would bring him in when it was bitterly cold and he would lay by the outside door because that was the coolest spot in the house.

I guess we're not having winter this year, here. I miss it!

But I've taken some great pics and videos of Ru, since he was a little boy, in the snow. He just loves it! He will be 5 in July.

He will run around and use his nose as a snow plow, or he will just lay down right in the middle of it and look up at me like he's so happy.

I love Huskys and enjoyed your sharing: thanks so much!

What kind of dog is Ru?! We have several snow plows in our backyard as well!

Our ten year old Keeshond, Anika, loves the snow. DH will blow a path for her and she always leaves the path and goes in the deep part of the snow. She loves the cold, snow or no snow. She'll go out to go potty, come back in, and bark to be out again less than a minute later. She even likes to lay in the snow and on the cold patio.

Alfie, our 9 month old cairn terrier likes the snow too. He loves to kick up the snow with his nose and he will go in the deep part too.

How fun!!! I have cats not dogs & they are much too good to get their feet cold - or so they think!

I would love to see pictures if anyone has a chance to post some. Thank you!

The closest my cats get to snow is licking the snow off my boots after I come in from shoveling after yet another snow storm! We always had dogs when I was a kid & they loved the snow. They used to chase & catch snow balls & had great fun doing it.

Unfortunately, pictures of all the snow drama have been hard to come by: our 4-legged kids are so fast and crazy! I posted on another thread how our rescue terrier decided that since we are having a heatwave today (25 degrees!) that it was time to go out and romp for awhile. She was madly barking at the shovel while my husband was making a path out to our fence gate--hippity-hopping all around, racing through the snow, yapping all the way! Then he tossed some snow on top of her and that did it--she went bonkers! It was so funny and enjoyable!
