L was wiggly when I came through the door.  I told her how pretty she looked with her haircut and we dashed outside.  We took a completely different route this time and we got to see all sorts of fun things.  We saw the great big hawk we saw weeks ago.  L also was nervous around an intricate mailbox, so we investigated it and I picked her up to show her that the decoration on top was made of concrete.  She liked that and we were on our way.  The mailman gave her a treat as we passed him.  Overall, we had a great day.

I almost fell on the ice walking up to the house, so M and I took the snowy route through the garden.  She was excited to play in the snow.  She bounded around and then when I tried to take a picture, she would look away.  I whistled softly to get the profile shown here. She is so funny.  We saw a HUGE deer at our turn around point and M didn't  know what to do with herself.  She was in hunting dog mode for a good few hundred feet.  She calmed down and we had a pleasant stroll back to the house.

H and got moving pretty quickly in the beginning of the walk.  She was excited and I was wary of all the ice.  I almost lost my footing on a big patch up the hill, but, luckily, H stopped when I asked her to.  It was pretty chilly out there, but the sun was great.  In the photo, you can see H walking on solid ice in the ditch.  It was amazing.  She bounded around a bit and when it started crackling, she hopped off.  The ice was thick enough that it only cracked once shown here.
