My little dog, Charlie can be either very active or totally the cuddler. Here he is negotiating a deer trail in deep snow. The snow is about 6 inches or so deep so he keeps to the trails that are already trampled.
He is wearing his Hi-Vis Vest which he absolutely hates but tolerates. When we were done with our morning walk I had to shake snowballs out of the vest from under his chest.
Being a low rider, he gathers snow easily in his vest. [10 seconds]
We went out a little later to enjoy a glimpse of sunlight and I didn't use the vest, it was still drying on a rack.
Charlie had his mind on hunting mice and voles.
Mice and voles make little tunnels in the snow and Charlie watches the tunnels to see if they are moving then dives in.
Tunnels in the snow:
Charlie in the snow, enjoying it.
And then he was too busy to pay attention to me, all of his attention was in finding the mice.
Charlie rarely gets cold, he has a very thick hound dog coat from his parents.
He does get cold on those below zero days, his feet get cold so of course we don't hike together on those days. He assists my husband in taking naps by burrowing into the blankets next to him when the weather is bad.
He is also a most excellent cuddler. He gets that from his mom who was a Pekinese.
No mice or voles were harmed in these photos. 😀
