@ Sled Dog in Training
Coco and Rose 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.

@ Straight Ahead, Team!
“It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Scotty?” said Coco."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books."
Scotty shivered. “You must be fond of adventure books, Coco! I'd rather have four solid walls round me at night, actually!"
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.

@ Squirrel in the Snow
“I was pretending to be an Arctic explorer in the husky sled on the way here, Coco,” revealed farid.
"Is that why you kept yelling: 'Mush! Mush!' at them?" asked Coco. "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 farid.

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!

@ Snowy Stillness
Thurmy and Coco were musing on the concept of hygge.
