[Dailydrool] Walking Millie in snow.

[via Dailydrool]

Walking Millie in the snow has been a challenge.  For some reason  animal 
footprints really interest her.  When there is no snow she pretty  well walks 
fairly well, sniffing here and there as we walk.  That does not  work for 
snow covered areas.  When we walk and she sees footprints left by  a dog or 
other critter, she has to stick her nose into each one and really give  it a 
sniff.  When I said each one, I do mean each one.  A walk that  takes 15 
minutes in the snowless months takes about 30 in winter.  It is  not so bad 
when the temps are not too cold, but in the near zero and below, it  is hard.  
She walks in the snow and her paws get cold and she then limps  until they 
warm up.  It is comical, but frustrating.  The joys of a  basset.
