Winter and dog

My parents' dog, Corby, is a retriever. Naturally, his favorite pastime is to retrieve thrown tennis balls, sticks, bones, etc. It becomes rather comical in deep snow because he can't see or smell it when it lands. He'll search the whole yard, breaching snowdrifts and running up and down the hill. (It's a good way to tire him out when it's too cold to walk him.) But as you can see, it's the searching he enjoys, not the finding.
