A fresh air tour is just what we needed after two days of being indoors doing barn hunt. On the way home Saturday, Mom stopped and took us for a half hour walk. She says she feels like she smells like straw and rats, so she wants to air herself out as well as us.
It was later in the day, which means we had the trails all to ourselves, which we love! Well, that is kind of a lie. Those pesty squirrels were racing around in the trees. It was really quite exciting watching them.
Mom used to live next to this lake, years ago. She was amazed at how big some of the trees have gotten. I look super small next to this one!
We went down on the fishing pier to have a look at the lake. It was frozen, but with the warm weather, the ice is definitely not safe to walk on. You can’t really see it, but there is a big snowman out on the lake. It is just to the left of my head, but rather blurred out.
Olivia had never been on this walk before, so she was super busy sniffing and looking at everything.
At one point, we got to cross over the lake on the wooden bridge. Lots of the lakes in this county have wooden bridges. They look nice in wooded areas.
The fresh air tour did us all some good. Not only did we air ourselves out, we got our blood moving, and our brains engaged. Who knows what my deal was in this photo. My tongue is sticking out, and I look like I am about to fall over! Walks are always a good thing, whether they are long or short!
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard for their Nature Friday blog hop.
I hope you get some rest this weekend. You had a very busy week.
We have stuff going on, but no competitions.
It’s always good to see you enjoying yourself out and about. Great shots as always. What a beautiful area and you make it even better looking.
Have a woof woof day and weekend. My best to your talented mom. ♥
You have a pawsome weekend with your husband!
oh yes, that is amazing to see a place after some years ago… it sometimes looks smaler or bigger or completely different…
Mom says everything always looks smaller.
That was a nice, refreshing walk! I love your tongue out, little Madison tea pot! I saw the snowman. Have a happy weekend. Maybe my mom will be able to walk me after she gets her new knee 3 weeks from TODAY! XOXO, Sparkle
Hope everything goes will with her surgery.
You two precious ladies make me want to jump into my monitor to shower your faces with kissies
Hugs Cecilia
Now that would be fun. We love kisses.
You girls have all the fun!!! Smelly rats and straw aren’t most human’s favorite thing to be cooped up with, nor are sweaty dogs! Glad you all stopped and took an “airing.”
We got the stink pretty well blown off. Mom says she goes nose blind to it all.
I bet you all were glad for the airing out time, you look very cute!
It was good to get fresh air and stretch out our legs.
What a beautiful walk in your own Winter Wonderland! Rosy zones out with her tongue peeking out just like you Madison!

Lots of dogs do it. I don’t know why I did it since I don’t usually.
What a beautiful walk in your lovely snow. We’re getting too much rain and now high winds. yuk
Fresh air and exercise is just the best thing!! Especially when you need a good airing out. LOL
That is true, and we did need to lose the straw and rat smell.
Big and small. Black and white. A spot of red. Wonderful all way ’round!
Nice, I like it!
Talk about walking in a winter wonderland!
Today is a real winter wonderland because it is snowing.
I’m glad that you got a relaxing walk after all that hard work of searching for rats!
We often go for a nice walk after a sports event to just chill out and relax.
You always are so brave and cute💗Pawkisses for a Happy Sunday🐾😽💞
Thank you. We try to be brave, but we are not always.
Aww, you two are so adorable. It looks a bit cold out, but we bet you really enjoyed the fresh air and look for rats (!). 🙂
We enjoy the winter weather with the cold and snow, and hunting rats is always fun!
Cute harnesses! Styling!!
We always have harnesses in our own color.
What a beautiful area! and the dogs are beautiful too!
Being out in nature is the best.
How cute ! The white background suits them very well !
We love the snow, and it loves us I guess.
