Yeah! Snow Cookies! Snow Cookies!

Winter is Bandit!'s favorite time of year. He's well insulated and mostly snow-proof. He loves snow - especially fresh powder. After good dog-deep snow storm, he'll spend hours plowing through the snow, bounding through the snow, digging through the snow, rolling through the snow, pushing his people through the snow.... For some recreation this afternoon, we decided to go hunting for one of the Bavarian Husky's favorite foods - snow cookies. Wild snow cookies are much more fun than regular cookies you find in kitchens. And, you only have to root around in the snow for them; none of that 'sit, 'paw,' 'down' nonsense that people love. Bandit! dug for cookies until well after his buddy was frozen to the other end of the leash. When Bandit! realized his buddy was too cold to keep hanging around while Bandit! searched for cookies (that his buddy knew were all gone anyways...), Bandit! took pity on him - and challenged him to a good rope tugging.
