A Wintry Walk

Just another wintry Janurary, February, March day here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I'm at home on Wednesdays, so since it was a balmy 70, 50, 30, 26 degrees this morning, I decided to take the pup for a walk in the newly fallen snow.

our snowy neighborhood

When it's snowing, what Pepper mostly wants to do is run around and chase sticks and play. So, she didn't really want to just walk. And she let me know.

She played the Tug on the Leash game,

the Grab the Leash and Pull game,

the I Really Want to Grab Your Glove, Run off, and Have You Chase Me game,

and the Please, Oh Please Let's Just Go Run Around in the Snow Look game.

I did eventually bend her to my iron will, and we had a nice walk punctuated intermittently by my own yelps and yankings of the leash as I slipped and slid on our roads.
