Blocked

Our morning walks have been curtailed to some extent by the full arrival of winter. The entrance to the forest is blocked by 3-4 foot snowbanks. And the snow has a 1/4" layer of ice over it which Beyla doesn't like walking through. I can't blame her. I think it hurts her feet and her "shins" trying to push through it. Hell, it hurts MY shins trying to push through it.

So for now anyway, we're doing a combination go outside/walk thing. I put her out while I get ready so she can do her thing, then we take a short walk on the road. It's not great, but it still gets her out for a half hour in the morning.

Maybe once the ice crust thaws I'll look into snowshoes. :)
