The Dog Days of Winter

One of the cities not too far from where we live was hosting an Ice Dogs Festival today, and since we needed to vacate the house (Jim worked last night and was sleeping today) we headed over. William was in all of his glory - a whole event devoted to dogs!!!!

There were autism service dogs...

Sparky the fire dog...

Sled dogs (by far the best, and the furriest!!)...

An ice sled - not dog related, but still a whole lot of fun...

Ice sculptures...

Lots and lots of dogs walking around...(I really, really want a Bernese Mountain Dog like the one on the left)

And of course, snacks.

Put this all together with hot chocolate and whipped cream and audio books for the drive home and it was a lovely morning.
