The short version - they don't.

Longer version:

Considering that I had to help the mail carrier dig her SUV out after it
went off our driveway yesterday, I figured that I'd spend a little bit
of time to clear out at least part of the driveway (I have at least 200
ft. to do). The dogs came out with me to help, of course.

Pan: Hmmm, what's that thing? I MUST smell it. Especially while mommy
is pushing it around on the ground. Aaack! It makes noise (scraping
against the driveway). Run away, run away from the eeevil shovel.

Khan: Silly mommy, why would anyone want to get rid of *snow*? (Gives me
The Look)

Pan: Ooh, I must play. Right where mommy is shoveling. Lemme bark in
the scary, hairy beast's ear and see if he'll cooperate.

Much wrestling ensues.

Me: Guys, get out of the way! You're not helping!

Khan: Fine! I'll just curl up right here, right where you're shoveling.

Me: Khan man, move it or lose it!

Khan eluctantly moves. Immediately curls back up in the middle of my
flower bed. Since I wasn't shoveling there, I decide to let it go.

Pan: I'll bet mommy loooves kisses right about now. Slobber, slobber,
slobber.

Me: Pan dog, *not* on my glasses!

Pan: Fine! I'll just chase my tail. Proceeds to twirl around right
where I am shoveling.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I was out there for about 2 1/2 hours. This, right after we came back
from our shortish (2 miles today, I hate crashing through crusty snow
and having to pick up my knees constantly) walk.

About the only good thing about shoveling so much is that I got a
*really* good workout out of it, and can probably afford to eat Bonbons
all day.

silly Suja. the term "snow plowing," when applied to dogs, isn't to be
taken literally. HTH!

Lather, rinse, repeat.

sounds like you did a good job of entertaining them. or vice versa.
i'm afraid i would've been too busy laughing at them to get much work
done.

While I was shoveling, I was giving *serious* thought to putting 'snow
plow' on cue. The hairy beast might as well earn his keep every once in
a blue moon.

I was really trying to focus. With 10 acres to play in (my neighbors
are in Florida, WAAAH!), they *have* to do it right in front of my feet.
Or my shovel.

You are most welcome :-) I've resisted the urge to eat Bonbons and have
been eating dried mango slices instead. Maybe a Rugulah or two are in
order.

Two dogs are sooooo much more fun than one, especially when they are "helping."

Dylan and Oppie attack the snow shovel. Hard enough to lift it when it's
full, never mind when one or two dogs is clamped onto it, growling and
trying to pry it loose from your hands. And they whine soooo miserably
when I, in desperation, shut them in the house.
