On the weekend, because we can go for a walk in daylight, I decided instead of a traditional street walk, I would take the dogs snowshoeing in the bush behind our house. We were blessed with temperatures sitting around freezing last weekend. Our neighbour's own this land but are totally cool with us using it. The sound you hear is the crunching of the snow (as it had a hard crust) under my shoes.
Lee loves snowshoeing. Phod doesn't want to be left out but does not love it. I think that is because I make him wear his harness and because he is heavier he sinks more. In spite of this, as long as the temperature allows I hope we get to go every weekend we have snow!
Why are we doing this?
Here are some other pictures I captured on my Olympus Tough camera (it is waterproof so the perfect camera to take on this type of adventure - as perhaps sometimes I get pulled over).
Tracking the deer
Can you spot the wild turkey that flew away as it heard us coming?
you are very good with this snow shoes!!! I tried it only one time in south tyrol and it ended bad... I landed on my face and couldn't leave the ground because my hands were in the pockets of my coat ;O)))
Oh my dogs...my apologies but Lady sounds like Big Foot. No wonder Phod kept looking back. But what beautiful scenery. K10 are your legs sore after snowshoeing? Hugs HiC
This past weekend was great time for hiking and snowshoeing. We went for a walk at the Cumberland Heritage museum. It's closed for the season but you can still walk around the property.
I love this!! I remember when we lived in Alaska seeing people snowshoe and cross country skiing with their dogs, and they always looked like they were having such great fun, just like you had! I hope you get your weekends this winter to do plenty of it!!
We wish Mom would take us snowshoe walking. We got a lot of snow overnight - wet, thick, deep, and heavy!!!We are in heaven. But a lot of our trees and shrubs are not looking so good - we hope Mother Nature helps them bounce back up.
