Whether you’re from a small town or a huge city, chances are you’ve participated in the classic past-time of slipping around on ice in the winter. Nothing quite beats bundling up and facing the cold to skate on the frozen pond down the street or the rink a few minutes away, especially when there’s a hot cup of cocoa waiting for you at home.
Our animal companions, however, aren’t always as keen on this whole “ice-skating” phenomenon.

While not all of these animals have mad pirouette skills, most of them still seem to be having a great time. For those of us, man or beast, that have yet to master the art of walking, running, and fetching on ice, we say, keep trying, you’ll get there! At the end of the day, we still have that mug of hot cocoa to look forward to!
