Chunks ‘O Ice

We have a snow and ice eater here.  I think Scout cannot go outside without having one or the other in his mouth.  He thinks they are a wonderful treat and just picks up clumps of snow everywhere and either carries them for a while or just plain eats them.  Tonight on one of our trips outside he found a real hard chunk of ice and carried it around the yard.  Then I had him drop it so we could go inside.  On the next trip out he remembered where he dropped it in a yard of snow and proceded to lie down and gnaw on it again.  He is just wierd.
