This is Millie's first winter. And boy is she getting a trial by fire. Or blizzard.

She's a one year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves diving in and swimming through snow drifts three times her one-foot height. Louis say: She's the next "Millie" Phelps."

In the photo, little Millie is out on her walk Tuesday. Louis thinks she's saying, "Wow! Now that we've climbed
Mt. Everest, what's next, Dad?"

She does look quite satisfied....

We've had some cute puppies on Unleashed but little Edward here has got to be at the top of the list. Sweetie!!

Just 13 weeks old, baby E, a Cavalier King Charles, has been loving the snow, says Rebecca, who's only had him since early January. Even since then, the little guy has gotten a number of snows under his fuzzy puppy belt.

Posey, gives mom the "You have GOT to be kidding me" look after making it through a snow path.

She's a 17-pound Rat Terrier that Gretchen brought home from Vermont. "How she survived those winters is beyond my comprehension," she says. "She's almost 8 now - and she really doesn't like this much snow.  She's a good girl who would much rather cuddle with a blanket on the couch - or tan herself in the summer."

This is Teddy. (Not Teddy Bean, who's my dog. This is regular Teddy, who's Phillip's cutie.)

"This is our dog Teddy's favorite place to enjoy the snow," he writes. "He is definitely not a snow dog."

I have to say Teddy, that looks mighty comfortable...

A German Shepherd surveys his Catonsville land. Joanna is actually fostering Jerry Lee, who's a German Shepherd with MAGSR -- in case anyone finds him so handsome they can't resist...  He's 3.5 years old, going on 4, and still learning how to be a dog, she says.

"He doesn't seem to know how to play in the snow, so sometimes I have to help him jump in," she writes. "But he is learning how to be part of a family and loves to run around outside - so long as someone else shovels him a path!  He gave me some really pitiful looks until I made him a tunnel to his favorite area of the yard."

Ninja is a silly kitty! Janet writes: "This is my cat Ninja, who usually loves to go outside on his leash. This time, I carried him down the unshoveled steps, and set him down and he immediately went up the stairs. When forward did not work, he tried backward." 

Backward view after jump...

Bridger loves the snow.  You can see from the snow on her face that she was just chasing her toys in the drifts.

The big snow provides a great obstacle course in the backyard for her, Maria says.

Tammy sent in pictures of three of her pups. There's Vienna sitting on the back step, not all happy about being in the snow. There's Zack, a completely blind, mostly deaf 16-year-old Pekingese. He's a fan of snow, but, says Tammy, occasionally does a face plant in a snow bank. Last but not least there's Stewie,      
a Pekingese who's 13 and the smallest of the trio. Stewie is not at all amused by the snow, despite his stylish fleece.

Althea of Hagerstown doesn't run through the snow anymore. She's 15  and doesn't even walk that great. She slept through most of the storm.

Ken dug her an area for her business. He says; "When she woke up on Saturday afternoon, she showed an interest in my handiwork, so she came out to inspect it. After I dug out her area, I cut through the snow plow debris to reach the street, and then on up the street to dig out my car."

OMG! Poor sunken doggy!

This is DogMan, aka Harley, a Basset from Bolton Hill. He's 11. Jeff says he does not enjoy the snow too much. Who would if they're up to their nose in it?!?!? "I think he gets a little colder than most since he's so low to the ground," Jeff says. "The face in this picture is the 'I'm miserable please put the camera down and take me inside' face."

Alfie the sweetie!

Nicole says Alfie just moved to town from San Diego....and after the blizzard, isn't quite sure what planet he's on. He's a 2-year-old Bichon Frise.

Nicole says, "This photo was taken after we used a snow plow to dig ourselves out of
the driveway at a family member's home in Churchville, Md.

Alfie enjoyed romping around the powdery snow last weekend, but the
height of this weekend's snowstorm intimidated him."

Muttley. The name alone could put a smile on your face. Such a jaunty little spotted thing, all scooting on top of the piles.

He's a Beagle/Dalmatian/Pointer mix and loves to take flying leaps into the snow to chase after his soccer ball
