My last hound was terrified of snowmen. I used to wander around the park with him in the dark and all of a sudden his body would tense up and there was a snowman sitting there waiting to attack us.
I have a set of skis and poles plus one pair of snow shoes marked M&AWC. You are welcome to them but not sure your 'hounds' paws will fit in them. Wuff
Wuff. :-(
