My son has grown out of the habit of jumping into the pile of raked leaves mostly because he realizes that it bothers his allergies and makes it hard to breathe… Sandal on the other hand has no hesitation to jump into the pile and lay down. She especially likes tossing the ball in herself and then tearing apart the pile to find it. Does the same with snow… She loves the fall and winter but isn’t as fond of the summer. I think it is because she gets too warm with all the fur..
