- Seiki the shiba inu is light enough to only sink to her chest in wind-packed snow. She's "swimming atop a 4-foot-deep drift in this photo.
- Crystal at Herrick Lake Forest Preserve. This is the safe way to cross frozen streams and rivers--on leash and on a bridge!
- Seiki the shiba inu checks out the scents along the fence line at Mack Road's off leash area, a favorite dog exercise option for our family.
- Crystal, our older mixed-breed dog enjoys checking the scents caught in melting snow too.
- Seiki the shiba inu enjoys new snow for the fluffy fun and old snow for the scents hiding underneath.
- Until this winter, Crystal loved a good off-leash run while we skiied. This was a glorious day at Pratts Wayne Woods last winter.
- Even though she's older now and rarely goes faster than a walk or perhaps a modest trot any more, I'll always remember Crystal's delight at a good run on a snowy day.
