The season is over

While I always look forward to spring, it does mean the end of taking the dogs for walks in the back for awhile.
As the photos of Bunny below can attest...it is just too wet and sloppy now. The snow has now gone granular and there is lots of ice and water. But there is also danger. The drainage ditches are now flowing, and our dogs LOVE to go in them. When the current is strong, we don't go close. Now this isn't the creek in back of the house, we don't go near there. Ever. It is something to always be aware of if you live near water. This is a dangerous time, dogs can fall through ice and be swept under by currents. So our guys will have a lot of ball time until the melting is complete and the fields are once again dry (ish). Or it freezes hard...it's Canada afterall and it could go either way.

Tira in the bottom corner won't miss the snowballs in her toes!
