The birds were out.
The trees were bare and cold.
And there were trails to break in single digit weather.
AC (Animal Control) Ellen was game.
And the dogs were more than happy to cast shadows in the morning sun.
Sled dogs love to run when it’s cold.
And we humans can enjoy the cold too, in our man-made suits of heat-saving armor.
Some fancy.
Some simple, but effective.
Of course the dogs are prepared for the cold, naturally.
Northern Breed dogs anyway…three layers of fur on some.
As hard as they work, anything above zero degrees is reason to pant.
Cold, bright snow brings on a stark beauty unlike anything else.
So beautiful…
That it’s hard to resist at times.
And even the “poop pit” takes on an esthetic look.
Until tomorrow ~ God willing ~ and may all your cold days be bright,
