What a Day! : Lael, Kelly and Neil do some x-Country Skiing and Snow Shoeing with the Girls

When it is sunny and a warm 33F degrees out with little to no wind you go and take advantage of it. We went out to Adams Farm for a little exercise. There was approximately six inches of snow on the ground so conditions were perfect for both skiing and shoeing. The girls had a grand time as well. The snow had not frozen over so Makin was more than happy to run in it. For Tessa the woods could be filled with thumb tacks and she would still want to run through it. Silly dog!

It had been a while since any of us had been on x-country skis and we should have checked our gear before heading out but unfortunately Kelly's skis had gotten a little rusty making it impossible to clip boots to bindings. As a result Kelly used my skis for the first half the trip while I snow shooed. We then switched half way through.

I feel the need to defend myself! LOL

We don't use the coats that much, only when there will be standing around andshivering. Then the humans go and put their feelings on the dogs and make them wear coats! We are silly, huh!?

Naw. Some dogs genuinely DO get cold and it can be a very bad thing. Like they won't go out to potty because of the cold, or worse loose too much body heat and get hypothermic.

I just like razzing on you :-)

...and some dogs just like to be accessorized! :) (this is lael typing of course).

You are so right! I know a few dogs that LOVE to wear fancy stuff, they get all proud and strut. Very cute to watch.
