Miss Merry, my little Border Terrier puppy, was not especially impressed with snow when we got a dusting on the 1st of February as you can see, but the foxhound Tess showed her the ropes once we had several feet to work with.  First, all she did was blast around the shoveled paths, but then she clambered onto the deep stuff and insisted on bounding from footprint to footprint, first behind then in front of the hound and me, even though she could have gone to one side and stayed on top.  From then on, she was Queen of the Snowdrift - her courage astonished me.  The hound would lope down the hill and Merry would follow - I was sure I'd have to go fish her out of the deep stuff and carry her, but up she'd toil, emerging victorious.  Great way to tire a puppy with seemingly boundless energy.  Now the snow has pretty much melted, so I'm afraid I must design some other obstacle course for her out there! - Doc Amy
