@ Sled Dog in Training LaLiLu and FLAPPY have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Winter Wildlife A cute little fellow greets the pets this morning to herald the arrival of the morning's transport. The pets will pass wintry landscapes and greet all kinds of wildlife. They have the opportunity to explore bridges, a forest, a river and a snowbound wooden cabin before heading home in the sunset to that night's lodging. While passing the lumber store, they meet two more appealing little creatures keeping out of the cold. The pets then go inside for welcome bowls of soup and wind up their day by creating hot drinks with special chosen garnishes. Sled Dog in Training This pup may be young but he will learn much just by running alongside the team and hearing the musher call out the directions. Some day he may even be the lead dog.
While wandering in Winter, you met FLAPPY.
LaLiLu shook paws with FLAPPY the Majestic Monarch Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
@ Straight Ahead, Team! "It's turned a bit cold, LaLiLu, I'm going to put my beanie hat on," said Barnaby. "Good scheme! I'll dig my mittens out as well," said LaLiLu. Straight Ahead, Team! Eagerly jumping in their harnesses, the sled dog team lunges forward at the sound of the driver's command to "Hike!" The sled glides along the snowy path effortlessly thanks to the well-trained team. What seems like work to us is actually a great source of joy for a sled dog. Every time a musher decides to go out, every dog in the kennel is excitedly barking and jumping, hoping they get chosen to be on the team.
While wandering in Winter, you met Barnaby.
LaLiLu shook paws with Barnaby the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Bench “It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Choose a name?” said LaLiLu."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books." Choose a name shivered. “You must be fond of adventure books, LaLiLu! I'd rather have four solid walls round me at night, actually!" Snowy Bench Hikers welcome a sight such as this during a long, snowy trek. Chances to sit for a bit to rest are far and few between on the trails. Benches in places like this are usually erected in memory of a loved one who enjoyed the outdoors or as an eagle scout project.
While wandering in Winter, you met Choose a name.
LaLiLu shook paws with Choose a name the Panda Cub. They both received one silver mole!
@ Fox on the Prowl LaLiLu opened his rucksack to find his hat. Hershel could see LaLiLu had a beret, a balaclava, a cricket cap, a Tam o' Shanter, a woolly bobble hat, a beanie, a deerstalker hat and a Peruvian chullo! “Did you bring a Stetson too?” Hershel asked LaLiLu. Fox on the Prowl Foxes have a keen sense of hearing and can hear its prey scurrying underground even under the cover of snow. It is poised to pounce quickly and seize the opportunity for a tasty hard-to-find winter snack.

@ Through the Frozen Wetlands "This is fabulous, slider" enthused LaLiLu.

"You'll have a fine collection of mementos, LaLiLu!" said slider. Through the Frozen Wetlands The carefully constructed boardwalk allows hikers to safely traverse the wetlands while protecting its inhabitants. While they are hibernating at the moment, at the first sign of spring, the environs come alive with the chorus of spring peepers and other critters who call this land home.

@ Squirrel in the Snow "Do you think we'll see penguins like we did on Snow Beach that time, Punky?" asked LaLiLu. "Oh gosh, LaLiLu, do you remember those sharks, and the octopus as well? Poor Fresco took one look and hid in the bottom of the boat!" responded Punky. Squirrel in the Snow I know I hid that corn cob somewhere around here but a recent snowfall has covered it up. Now I will have to check every lumpy spot in the snow to find it. Boy, will I be glad when I do! I'm hungry!
While wandering in Winter, you met Punky.
LaLiLu shook paws with Punky the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!

Oh, I can already feel the warmth of the wood-burning stove and can't wait to kick off my boots and relax under a warm quilt with a cup of hot cocoa.

Frosty-Nosed Welcome Welcome to my neck of the woods! I know you'll love it here as much as I do. You don't happen to have a carrot in your backpack, do you?

@ Snow-Covered Fence “I'm already looking forward to tonight's hot drink by the fire, LaLiLu,” said Riley. "Hey, a snowshoe expedition will warm you up!" replied LaLiLu. Snow-Covered Fence The snow-covered fence marks the border of this sparse remote land. With one lone tree off in the distance and no hoof or paw prints in the freshly fallen snow, there doesn't appear to be much activity here. Perfect, just the way I like it!

@ European Crested Tit "This is fabulous, Pinotte" enthused LaLiLu.

"You'll have a fine collection of mementos, LaLiLu!" said Pinotte.

@ Misty Evergreen Forest “If there's time at the end when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," MooBerry said, offering LaLiLu a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself. “That sounds like a good plan, MooBerry!" said LaLiLu. "And very in keeping with the hygge theme!" Misty Evergreen Forest An unusually warm day has caused snow to melt on the hillside at the edge of the dense forest. A layer of mist hovers within the stately evergreens, shrouding any residents from our view.
While wandering in Winter, you met MooBerry.
LaLiLu shook paws with MooBerry the Strawberry Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Owl Solo “I was pretending to be an Arctic explorer in the husky sled on the way here, LaLiLu,” revealed NUTTER. "Is that why you kept yelling: 'Mush! Mush!' at them?" asked LaLiLu. "Hey, what would happen if you shouted the wrong command and they suddenly did a U-turn?" "I reckon we'd all be flung out headfirst into the nearest snowdrift," grinned NUTTER. Snowy Owl Solo A single snowy owl sits motionless on the ground. Under normal winter conditions, it would be well-camouflaged but the absence of snow allows us to catch a rare glimpse of its beautiful pristine feathers.
While wandering in Winter, you met NUTTER.

@ Sunset Masterpiece “Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cold, LaLiLu!” said Miss Tan. “Can you hold my gloves and map while I dig out my scarf?"

This she donned and then LaLiLu helped her put everything back in her rucksack.

LaLiLu shook paws with Miss Tan the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
@ Woodpile of Warmth Julia and LaLiLu were musing on the concept of hygge. “Is the reason there's no word for this in English because England is a cold, damp little island with an awful train service?" LaLiLu considered this. "Well, they could still go indoors out of the rain and curl up in an armchair with a good book and stuff." Woodpile of Warmth They say when you cut wood that it warms you twice. Some pet has already experienced the first warmth. Now the wood is stacked and ready to be used to warm a second time.

@ Cocoa Bar LaLiLu is tired out and ready to go home when SPARKLES comes along. "Wow! You find a special prize!" says SPARKLES. LaLiLu turns round and found it was just behind them! Frosty Butterflies Butterflies are a universal symbol of transformation and change, as no creature undergoes such an amazing metamorphosis as the caterpillar to butterfly. On a spiritual level the butterfly is associated with the soul and rebirth. These delicate frosty butterflies with their wings rimmed in violet are a true delight.
