Walking Snow Clowns

February 1, 2019 / The Thundering Herd /

Walking a herd of canines is always an adventure, but Hu-Dad says mixing in a couple of snow clowns really makes life exciting.

If every dog walked forward like the photograph above, our strolls through the neighborhood wouldn’t be particularly challenging. But The Herd doesn’t behave like that. Games are invented. Mischief occurs. And chaos reigns.

Just stopping for a little Cheesewhiz Snow Slide.

Once the first canine gets out of line, then order disintegrates. Leashes become entangled. A jumbled mess explodes into existence. And all control by the humans is lost.

Aren't we snow clowns fun? — Aren’t we snow clowns fun?

We struggle with 2 dogs at a time getting crazy! I don’t know how you do it with three!! Especially in the winter time. They just tend to get crazier in the snow.

Nice to know we are not alone! lol

Brrr you are wearing tennis shoes in the snow. Don’t your feet get cold. My feet get cold and I wear winter boots walking dogs. Sometimes some of the coolest pics show the shadows of the humans taking pics-haha.

Never a dull walk. Every ‘kid’ knows that being goofy is more fun!

Thanks for the new name for our two Huskies, Max and Maya. As we read today’s blog all we could say is WOW it happens with the Herd also! Thanks for the new name to use!

I give you so much credit for walking 5 at once. I can only handle 1 snow clown. You are a special person!!
