Half-Sibs walk the snowmobile trail

Wow, what a gorgeous day out on Caesar Pond! The temp. was a balmy 20F with a feel-like temp. of 11F. We met up with Shannon, Trouble, and Sugaree for a wonderful walk along a short portion of the snowmobile trail across the pond. Our round trip total was 2 miles.

I walked Lady Flame who is a perfect trail companion for me.

Drew walked Trouble and Toby, who are great walking buddies.

Shannon walked Sugaree who did a phenomenal job on the walk and we were all so proud of her! At 12 years old, Sugaree's hind end is a bit weak, but she seemed quite comfortable walking the entire 2 miles.

Houndy Half-Sib walk on Caesar Pond

I met Trouble, Sugaree and their minions on Caesar Pond this afternoon. The pond surface is covered by a few inches of snow and has a fabulous texture for walking.

Trouble found lots of good scents where the beaver has had a feeding station.

The pups walked around to the western shore where they got to explore the beaver lodge.

Sugaree, who has a nose for bunny news, informed us that there might just be a bunny inhabiting the top apartment of the lodge!

And, how did Sugaree know this? She followed the tracks!

Hmmm... evidence of bunny tracks were in the snow on the pond surface as well!

1st Half-Sib Play Date of 2019!

It was a nice warm day for a play date with the temp. above freezing. The snow was somewhat sticky, but not slippery. Our somewhat geriatric crew had a good time.

After a bit of running around...

and Trouble getting on Toby's case (and being gently corrected by Drew)...

the pups settled down.

The day then became mostly about Sugaree who has really been blossoming now that she is taking a puppy pain reliever. She is enjoying the snow to the fullest as it cushions her feet.

She loves cold weather and spent a lot of time just lying around.

As our neighborhood elder hound, at 12 years old, she gets so much joy from snow.
