April!?!


Last year the pond ice was gone by March 16th (early) ... this year an April Fool's Day snowstorm dropped 6" heavy wet snow (5 hours "Snowblower" workout!!!)

"Are we too early?"
"The Geese were here!"

Heading into February!


Foot travel has required various types of spikes/wires/prongs/grippers on every boot and shoe to get around on the icy yard ... the girls go out one at a time to do their "business" and group play is supervised on the circular driveway that was driven over by the car to rough up the ice/snow before it froze (it was not snowblowable) ... sadly snowshoeing in our woods is not safe for human or beast!!!
(Scroll down to bottom for updates as month goes on)

Beautiful cold sunny morning but very icy footing!
Good Helpers ... getting ready for the storm!!
As seen on Facebook 
Training day with Miss Bunny" at Muddy Paws Training Center!
