What is this?

Watching the young pup dart about him with his yellow eyes, lifting one leg when she ran beneath his body, Jed couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh. It felt nice to see such an energetic soul again and once she had settled long enough to ask a question, he had come up with a few options. "Well now, there are a few things we could do in the snow." The brutish male turned to peer around as if trying to pick out something in their vicinity, tilting his head a bit.

"I'm not sure if we have what we need here." Jed turned his attention back with a sort of grin, "Do you know of any large trees nearby?" He was sure that he could find a big enough hill for what he had in mind, provided they could find a good strip of bark or large sturdy elephant leaves. "Big enough that even I couldn't wrap myself all the way around it." He was sure that she would enjoy the activity, if they were able to do this.
