Life is a series of dog walks ...

Just got home from a lovely dog walk at Auburn Golf Club with Wendy and Sooki.


I thought at first it was going to be a cold walk but after a while I found myself pulling my mitts off and yanking off my ear muffs.


Wendy fetched her ball while Sooki followed Wendy ... or her own nose.


The snow wasn't really that deep, but still it was harder to walk in as I had to lift my  knees higher than they like to be lifted.

We encountered a few other people out walking their dogs or taking their kids sledding on the wonderful hills.  The man in the shot below was snow shoeing while his two dogs tagged along.


The golf course is very scenic with several covered bridges crossing a pretty river.  As I always have treats in my pocket, Wendy and Sooki come quickly when called.  They'll even put up with posing for a picture when a bribe is in the offing.


This is Wendy's "Throw the ball, throw the ball" look.


This was only my second time visiting Auburn.  I learned of it a week or so ago when I hooked up with a local Facebook dog walking group.


The photo below is from that first visit.  I love how there are no humans in the photo and the dogs appear to be on their own. 


I'm sure you can see why I went back again today.

    1. Sara I'm really NOT a Winter girl and I know that if I don't go out walking every day it affects my happiness. BTW I'm off today to Conrad's to go Geocaching with a chum here ...

  3. Looks so lovely there, Sybil. I love how long winter shadows are, especially when cast on the snow. The dogs seem to love the wide open spaces, too.

    2. Barbara it really was lovely. I love how sometimes those shadows on snow have a blue tinge to them ... Yes, the dogs loved it there.

  4. What a fantastic place for a walk with the dogs! Yours are much better behaved than ours - if they're not trying to kill each other, they're running off to places they shouldn't. *Sigh*

    1. Kelly, Wendy and Sooki are pretty well behaved. But Wendy was quite a jerk when she was young. She's 10 now and has sobered up nicely. lol

  5. OK, now this is something we need in Torch Lake Township. We have a summer/fall dog and neighbor beach club down at Mickey's, but we need a dogwalking club for the rest of the year. Those are some happy dogs.
