We've Got Mail

One of the phrases Ollie reacts to is "get the mail."  In fact, Hubby was telling me that once, when he was watching T.V. the name 'Ishmael' was mentioned and Ollie started going nuts. To crazy dog 'Ishmael' sounds an awful lot like 'get the mail'.

For us, getting the mail involves a long walk out to the road where our mailbox is located. 

Our house from the street = long driveway

This means Ollie gets to run, sniff, and explore the front yard where he rarely gets to go.

After shoving his face into a pile of snow, he enjoys coming inside to warm up.

Notice the snow all over his snout?
