Mandy, my five month old puppy, and I went for a walk today. As can be expected from a Maryland winter, there were patches of ice after the recent rain. Mandy, unfamiliar with ice, attempted to drink it. This proved unsuccessful, which motivated her to run, err, slide to another spot of ice to try to lick it. Such activities ensued for several minutes, to my hysterical delight. Dogs are cool.
