Knowing the temperature was right at the freezing point, I didn’t expect to see other walkers on the road. The cold didn’t keep neighbor Lisa from walking Rosie. One was wearing almost enough layers, and the other was fully equipped for chilly weather. They walked to the creek with me for the second time. I can’t remember when they first went, but I forgot to take photos and kicked myself afterward. This time the camera was ready. Lisa nimbly hopped down the rocks in two places so that Rosie could take a drink.
I don’t mind walking alone, but it’s delightful to have two-footed and four-footed friends to share the joy of the morning. I didn’t tell Kacey, in case she would get jealous.

How delightful for everyone! It is more fun to walk with a partner. Rosie is a gorgeous dog.

Rosie could easily knock me down, but Lisa controls her well.

That is good for your sake and Rosie’s. It looks like an area where a dog could get into a difficult spot.

I’ve never seen a dog in distress at the creek, but that doesn’t mean a thing. You have a watchful mindset that is great for protecting a dog.

Molly has more scope for trouble than lots of others. I’ve enjoyed watching her grow up.

I don’t know if she realizes it but with the build up of snow and ice in our yard, Molly could probably step over our six foot fence right now. I am just hoping the snow and ice melts before she figures it out.

It’s always great to have someone to walk with. I don’t think we should tell Kacey though.

Your first comment did make it to me. Thank you for doing it a second time. I wonder what happens to temporarily lost comments?

Walking with a friend is great. I used to complain that my walking buddy was a non-stop talker. (Honest, she really is.) I miss her. Since her husband died she only walks every other month or so. The incessant talking still drives me nuts but somehow I enjoy it. (Yeah, doesn’t make sense to me either!)

I’m surprised Kacey didn’t give you the third degree when you got home. You must not have been close enough to get Rosie’s scent on you. Whenever I go somewhere and am around another dog my dogs sniff me all over when I get home. There is no keeping secrets from them.

You’re right … Kacey will be jealous you were having a good time with “another dog”. I hear similar mutterings from the squirrels if I don’t show up? (“Are you seeing other squirrels?”) 🙂
