Footage shows Rusty opening the door to reveal a massive barrier of snow - leaving the two dogs staring at it, visibly perplexed.However they soon egg each other on and leap into the wall, before running and leaping through the mountains of snow.
Lisa, who's a stay-at-home-grandmother, said: 'It was wonderful to watch them play in the snow - when they went out and it was falling they were looking up trying to catch it in their mouths - it was amazing.
'They thought it was wonderful - we couldn't get them back inside and had to have a bag of hotdogs to get them to come in.

Lisa, who's a stay-at-home-grandmother, said: 'It was wonderful to watch them play in the snow - when they went out and it was falling they were looking up trying to catch it in their mouths - it was amazing'
'They don't go outside off the leash just yet as they're too small - so to have the door open and to be free to go was so exciting to them, but they didn't know what to do when they saw that wall of snow.'
Rusty added: 'It was almost like snowy quicksand and as soon as they realised that the snow wasn't going to hurt them, it was the greatest thing that they'd ever discovered.
'They had a great time out there.'
