Snow shaggin' way

They were definite. 
They were positive. 
There was no shadow of a doubt:

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO FOR ANOTHER BORING WALK. 

Actually (surprisingly enough), there were hardly any protests today, when I kicked off mission Escape-the-lockdown-house-for-two-hours. 
They usually energetically protest their unwillingness to go for a walk. 

But today I put the sledge and an electoral poster in the boot of the car (knowing full well that there wouldn't be enough snow for winter sports) and they followed enthusiastically, like a pack of pups after doggy treats.
