The trouble with Currier & Ives paintings is that they show you the romance but they forget the reality. 

Romance is snow . . .

Reality is the mud that comes after the snow . . .                              

Romance is catching snowflakes on your tongue . . . 

Reality is ice in all the puddles . . . 

Apparently no one informed Blue Heeler there were sheets of ice floating in the puddles before he zoomed across them.  He skated and careened like he was trapped in a pinball machine. When he finally reached dry, non-slippery land, he had to take a look back to see what demon had taken hold of him. The look on this dog's face pretty much sums up the romance and reality of a life after snow.
