I have two questions:

1) Is this homework? If so, please submit it to your teacher and come back with any questions or doubt you may have about the corrections s/he made.
2) Are you really a Retired Academic? If so, please forgive me and ignore this question altogether.

Ursica is my dog.[space] It’s a dog whit golden fur and very big. [I would say: "It's (or he's) very big and has golden fur"]
Last winter was the first winter of his life. I believe "... the first one of his life." would be better.
The first time [STRIKE]when [/STRIKE] ["that" or no relative] [STRIKE]it [/STRIKE] he saw snowflakes [STRIKE]it [/STRIKE] he fretted [STRIKE], it[/STRIKE] and frolicked like a happy kid.

Give me a second to check the rest.

After the snow was [STRIKE]deposited[/STRIKE] settled on the ground[in my opinion, this is unnecessary][no space], Ursica went (to play, for example) [STRIKE]go[/STRIKE] in the [STRIKE]most[/STRIKE] (deep) snow[no space], and after he came [STRIKE]out[/STRIKE] back you [STRIKE]say[/STRIKE] have said [STRIKE]it[/STRIKE] he was [STRIKE]like[/STRIKE]a snow-dog.

When I come[STRIKE]s[/STRIKE] out Ursica [STRIKE]was jumped[/STRIKE] always/usually jumps immediately on me[no space], puts me down in the snow and [STRIKE]it[/STRIKE] ["he" or no subject, as we are still speaking of Ursica] won’t let me [STRIKE]to[/STRIKE] go.
I love my dog very much!

There you go. Maybe native speakers/teachers can helps us both polish it.

After the snow had settled on the ground, Ursica dived into the deepest snow and after he came back out you might have thought he was a snow dog.
When I come out Ursica immediately jumps up to me, pushes me down into the snow and won’t let me go.

A bit more concise.
(and now we all wait for the experts to make their appearance)
