Back in the 70s, we had a Samoyed dog that loved to be outdoors in winter, she would refuse to come in. So the next winter I built a big pen with an insulated dog house, of course she slept on the top of it, especially when it snowed. After a snowfall, when I would be shovelling the driveway she would lay in front of the shovel until I would pick her up and throw her in the snow, this would go on for as long as I shovelled, needless to say it took a long time to do the driveway. BTW she was a 70 LB dog, so I got double the exercise on those days. Happy memories.
