Where's Pepper?

I knew it was going to happen one of these days.  This morning as Pepper was doing her business in the back yard, she disappeared.  She had gotten too close to the end of the yard and slipped down the hill.  My back yard is elevated and has steep slopes on the left and back to neighboring yards.  It was still dark, and I still had on my jammies and slippers so did not rush through the ice to see where she was.  I could hear her crunching around and she finally emerged way at the end of the neighbor's yard.  Pookie was all over her like "where have you been?"  She was unharmed, but now none of the dogs want to go into the ice-covered snow.  That's a problem...
