Oh, Sleet - You are beautiful! No slipper is safe from you, huh? I'd like to sit by all of you. I feel warmer already!

Wow, that is too cold to live...I don't blame the doggies for wanting to stay in lol. But then again they also looked happy to get out when it was a slight less cold. The pics are all cute and beautiful. I wouild be so scared to be on a lake, do you ever get scared of it breaking, or ever hear the ice cracking? Is there dangerous spots you know not to go on? Just wondering since I've never been on large bodies of water that have turned to ice

Can't blame the doggies one bit, I wouldn't go out at -50 either!! And they all look sooooo comfy in the house, how could you possibly make them go out, all those sweet, sad faces. Sleet, I've got a couple of old slippers I could send your way if you run out sweetie. I'd love to spend the day sitting with you snuggling on the couch and watching you destroy slippers. Hugs for all the doggie babies, they're so sweet.

Tam!!!!
I am so going to virtually steal them for a while all that fluffy love in one spot melts even the coldest of hearts.........mine!

Great pics as always, now to find a napkin to wipe the drool off!

They are all so beautiful and each so unique, thank you for sharing!

LOL, she doesn't destroy them. She just steals them! If a shoe, mitt, slipper is missing in this house, Sleet has it! She rarely wrecks them. She's a collector!

LOL! Maybe that girl needs some stuffie-babies!

Not interested in toys! She only likes things she's not supposed to have, especially Stuart's stuff! I think she's trying to teach him to pick up after himself!

When it gets that cold, do you ever have a problem catching someone to bring them in? If they want to stay out, is it safe?

I'm shivering just thinking of it.

Great photos! I see the dogs shared the bed with one of the kitties.

That's not a big lake. It's actually pretty small and not particularly deep. It's been safe to run on since mid-November and will be til mid-April. Some people wait til the snowmobilers have crossed the ice to consider it safe. I wait until I see wolf tracks on it. Wolves are smarter about such things than snowmobiles! Never hear about wolves going through the ice! I also never argue with my leaders on ice. If they don't want to cross, they have a reason and we'll find a different trail.

I stay away from the beaver dams since they always have an exit somewhere and tend to get slush on top of the ice. Cold wet paws don't make for happy dogs. Occasionally, I hear the ice popping, but it's just noise. It's not breaking and we aren't going to go through. On bigger lakes, I tend to stick closer to the shore, not straight across the middle! But for the most part, this time of year, the lakes around here, regardless of size have a couple feet of ice on them. They make roads on some lakes! It's early in the winter and spring that you have to be more careful on the ice.
