I took Lord Dudley Mountcatten out in the snow for round two last week and after a few false starts…

.

.

He accepted the white stuff was cold, wet and crunchy but if one is careful, it can be navigated.

.

Careful tiptoeing continued… until he spotted my nemesis.

While I normally don’t encourage carnage or blood sport, all bets are off when it comes to that house/barn/garage gnawing red bitch.

.

.

I was actively encouraging the stalk and made sure to stand motionless and quiet.

But alas, she out maneuvered us and hid in the woodshed. No doubt sharpening her teeth in between chuckles.

Lord Dudley was disheartened, not to mention cold… so round two of ‘introduction to snow’ came to a close.
