Our little part of Brighton is pretty treacherous when it snows and so it was a ‘local streets’ dog walk this morning. There was no way I was getting the car out. The roads turn into ice rinks and there are lots of steep hills so better safe than sorry. Let’s hope it clears soon and we can get back to the woods.
I noticed a few cars and vans had been abandoned on icy street corners as drivers had thought better of it -leaving their mobile numbers in the wind screen just in case their vehicles were in the way.
I took Georgie and Jessie out separately thus avoiding falling *** over **** if one of them saw something exciting on the other side of the road. As it was, they were pretty good and took it steady, leaving me to focus on keeping upright as we walked on some rather steep and icy pavements.
Jessie wore her red Cesar Millan backpack to give her something else to focus on and I took her out first to get rid of some of that energy.
Georgie came with me to our local churchyard and she LOVED it. She mostly rolled around in the snow and ever so often took off, running in large circles scooping up the snow in her mouth. Pure joy!
And I’ll finish with a few miscellaneous pics from this morning. First a gorgeous wire fox terrier we met who was enjoying the snow as much as Georgie. If her owner visits this page – I’ve forgotton your dog’s name – sorry!
I just liked this cool car!
And finally a little sparrow feeding on our patio – thank you to Joan for the ‘feeding platform’!

Walking dogs in crummy snowy / icy winter weather is the pits! I walk my two separately also. Best to prevent my falling on my bum when one takes off after a rabbit or bird.
Lucy and Leo do love the snow as long as it’s not too terribly cold out. Snouts down deep and tails up high!
wow, that is a great snowy muzzle!
i wonder if my dogs will ever see the snow…
I love watching doggies in the snow. My Sadie (golden retriever) loves rolling in the snow. I have two other dogs who love the snow as well but not nearly as much as she does. I just posted a photo collage of her playing in the snow if you want to see. Hopefully you are melting and getting back to normal. We are still buried and expecting more snow to come.
Beautiful pictures! That wire fox terrier looks really cool. You are lucky to have so much snow.
Thanks for sharing the pictures. I moved to Florida from Michigan and although I love the sunny weather, there is something so wonderful about watching the dogs play in the snow
Oh my gosh, what beautiful puppies!
