Stone Circle Its starting to look a lot like christmas

The excited boy would not need to be encouraged twice. 

He dipped into a crouch, his tail waving from side to side, and after wriggling his bottom to get his hind paws sunk into the snow for grip, he launched himself high into the air- arcing at the fulcrum, and with front paws extended before him, he dove into the pile and sank in all the way up past his ears and to his shoulders, the way a fox will when hunting prey in the snow. For a moment, he stayed where he was, breathing warm air into the snow that was packed in around his face, laughing. His body, hind feet and tail were all that could be seen of him, until he planted his hind feet, and pulled himself free. 

Snow clung to his curls, so he squared his feet and gave his whole body a thorough shake to get the snow off himself, giggling. He pushed the snow back into the hole where he'd sunk in, to prepare the pile for Ike, before he gave a bark of encouragement, waiting for Ike to take his turn.
