That cooped up feeling

 Winter waited a while to get here - but damn - when she arrived she did so in spades!!

We are not getting the bone chilling temps that other places are getting, but that's probably because there is a pattern of snow sitting right over us.  Combined with 20 MPH winds we've been cooped up for days  in blizzard conditions and a no unnecessary travel warning.

When you have dogs that are used to being active, they get stir crazy when they can't get out the energy.  So I wanted to get them outside today just to run around.  With our road looking like this, a regular walk was out of the questions!

 We are very lucky to have quite a bit of land and a trail that we can walk.  With the high winds, some of the trail was near bare while other parts were above my knees.  So walking around for 45 minutes gave the dogs plenty of exercise!

After that much needed energy release we came back into the warm house and it was clear the mission was accomplished!

You do what you can in this type of weather!
