The winter doldrums are here. January days in Michigan are short, cold and dark. But now and again the sun comes out and then it is time for Freighter to get out and…
Chase Away The Winter Doldrums
There are so many things a dog can do for fun.
A dog can run around the cabin 87 times.
A dog can retrieve a snowball.
A dog can leap over a snow bank.
Finally, a dog can snack on some snow.
So don’t stay inside and lay around. Get out and chase away the winter doldrums.
Have a nice weekend!

Excellent activities to make snow fun – good advice Brown Dawgs…
Snacking on snow is one of Barley’s most favorite activities, too! I love that Freighter retrieves snowballs–I’ve tried tossing some for Barley and when they thud in the snow, she just looks at me like “what just happened?” but she does love to chase her toys in the snow.
we sadly have to stay in my crib the most time… my area is a giant skating rink with slippery ice everywhere… hope the sun will do the trick soon and I can run around my cabin 87 times with full speed :O)
Winter is loaded with fun dog activities. I prefer to play chase with Bailie.
I love the photograph of Freighter with a snowball in his mouth! Earl loves catching them in the air, although we haven’t had any snow this year.
We luckily haven’t had to much snow but the winter doldrums are definitely here. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Sounds like a whole lot of fun at the cabin. Have a great weekend.
if we had a cabin and some snow in our part of Michigan that is a great idea! DakotasDen
Great snow activities! I bet Rocco would love to eat snow, if we had some!
Finally plenty of snow!
Still no snow. But I did take a picture of the ponds to send to you. I’ll see if I can find it (or take another).
I’m such a stalker. Jeez.
The long awaited pond pictures!
A truly fabulous post – we lub playing around in da snow!!
I just love all the outdoor space you have!!! Looks like so much fun! Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
It looks like you have some nice snow at the cabin! We are hopefully getting some more today..snow definitely makes things more fun and the dogs just love getting out and running around in it. It really helps me to hate winter less too, by seeing how much the dogs enjoy it. 🙂
The few times we’ve had snow over the years, it covered ice so we had to walk carefully around the yard (and everywhere else as well). It was in February of 2013 that Callie tore her left CCL while playing with Shadow and Ducky in the snow.
Hear, hear!! I couldn’t agree more – dogs need exercise all year round! I love Freighter’s snow pics!!
Sounds like you’re having a brilliant snow-filled time!
