Frozen Dog Hike

Took the dogs for a hike at Marsh Creek yesterday. The lake was completely frozen.

It's a 500 acre lake - frozen solid. I've seen it in the past, but not last year. We went early, so it wasn't as active as last week. The ice fishermen were out there. Unfortunately the fishermen were too far away to get a good picture of their little setups.

We took the dogs out on the ice. They didn't really like it, hence the leashes.

Of course we didn't like it much either when it started cracking.

I don't think there was any risk of it cracking up and us falling in, but it was unnerving enough to make our exit from the ice.

So into the frozen woods we headed.

The dogs were much happier in the woods.

But the dogs are always happy when they can run free and get fed treats.
