While it's a snow day for many of Colorado's humans, both young and old, their furry friends are also enjoying the storm.

These pups, Harry and Cosmo, seemed ecstatic to play in the snowy backyard!

Rebecca Seib and her pup went for a walk Thursday morning in Lakewood's Union Ridge Park.

"Crazy snow amounts! Over 18+ inches!" Seib said in her post on our Denver news partners Discover Colorado Through Your Photos Facebook group, noting she brought a tape measure with them on their stroll.

"The crazy thing is my dogs paws couldn't even reach the sidewalk!" Seib said in her post.

But this pup didn't seem to mind, shoving its snoot straight into the snow.

In Castle Rock on Ridge Road, Michelle Rhea Karamooz sent us this video of letting her dogs outside.

The duo was just having so much fun, Karamooz asked Lily to lead her brother Luke back indoors. The pup came trotting in with a fresh layer of snow stuck to his back, seemingly without a care in the world.

Looking at the table in her yard, Karamooz said she estimated there was about 16 inches of accumulation.

In Genesee Park, Erik Lassi snapped this photo of his pup waiting patiently to come back inside. Despite the inches of snow stacked up in the yard, this dog managed to only get a sprinkling on its back.

Laura C. Keuhl told us she's seeing around 2 feet of snow in North Evergreen, which is just about as tall as their Australia Shepherd wading through the backyard. The pup got back to the door with a flare, bouncing through the approximately 24 inches.

Dave Bader shared this video with Denver7 on Instagram of his pup traipsing through the snow in Highlands Ranch. You could almost lose his dog in the snow, especially as it dives headfirst into a pile.

In south Castle Rock, Kathy McQueary's dog has a special talent sitting on top of all that snow without sinking.

No matter the size, the pups are out and about today. This 13-week old-puppy Maggi is getting to experience 18 inches of snow and counting in Highlands Ranch.

While this pup's name may be Autumn, she's looking like she's made for winter. Karoline told Denver7, Autumn is loving playing in the snow in their West Highlands backyard.

"Where's Waldo?" If you look really closely, you'll be able to spot Josie Rhoads-Verbeek's dog sticking out from underneath 12 inches of snow in Arvada.

Colorado snow totals? "Dachshund size!" Lynn Lynn said in a post on Denver7's Discover Colorado Through Your Photos Facebook group.

These dogs (or their owners) are getting creative in the snow "riding the storm out in Boulder," Jocasta Captures said.

In Elizabeth, Colorado, "Meadow and Juniper give this storm 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 up!!!" Patti Yoensky said in her post on Denver7's Discover Colorado Through Your Photos Facebook page.

But it's not just the dogs taking in today's delivery from Jack Frost.

We've got some Colorado cats venturing out in the snow.

"My other cat doesn’t want to go out in the snow as much..smart! Love my kitty boys!" Eadin Reid said in a post on Denver7's Discover Colorado Through Your Photos Facebook page.
