At a certain point in the winter, when the snow gets deep enough, the dogs typically don't go wandering off any longer (with a few exceptions, like blind Helen and Widget!) but end up sticking to the multiple narrow paths they create around the buildings. This makes it easier for their humans, too — not only for walking, but for poop scooping, too, since they tend to do their business in the paths. (Be careful where you walk!)
But the various paths make it especially easy for the little guys, like the Dachshunds, to get around outside and go for a spin, so to speak. Alayne got these shots of Bailey out for his mid-day constitutional, in which he just has to go outside and make his way through all the paths before going back inside. It's kind of like going for a drive to see the sights. (Sort of.)
Did I already mention the dogs use the paths for certain functions? Which means there's always time to stop and smell not the roses but something more interesting:
And then it's time to move on…
Until you get to the end and turn around for another jaunt:
You know, it may not be the same as cruising the Pacific Coast Highway in California, but out here we've got to make do with what we have.
