@ Sled Dog in Training Mouseketeer and Lady Aelfgifu have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Winter Wildlife A cute little fellow greets the pets this morning to herald the arrival of the morning's transport. The pets will pass wintry landscapes and greet all kinds of wildlife. They have the opportunity to explore bridges, a forest, a river and a snowbound wooden cabin before heading home in the sunset to that night's lodging. While passing the lumber store, they meet two more appealing little creatures keeping out of the cold. The pets then go inside for welcome bowls of soup and wind up their day by creating hot drinks with special chosen garnishes. Sled Dog in Training This pup may be young but he will learn much just by running alongside the team and hearing the musher call out the directions. Some day he may even be the lead dog.

Mouseketeer visits Winter Wildlife!
Episode 2/27
@ Straight Ahead, Team! “I was pretending to be an Arctic explorer in the husky sled on the way here, Mouseketeer,” revealed moo moo. "Is that why you kept yelling: 'Mush! Mush!' at them?" asked Mouseketeer. "Hey, what would happen if you shouted the wrong command and they suddenly did a U-turn?" "I reckon we'd all be flung out headfirst into the nearest snowdrift," grinned moo moo.
Straight Ahead, Team! Eagerly jumping in their harnesses, the sled dog team lunges forward at the sound of the driver's command to "Hike!" The sled glides along the snowy path effortlessly thanks to the well-trained team. What seems like work to us is actually a great source of joy for a sled dog. Every time a musher decides to go out, every dog in the kennel is excitedly barking and jumping, hoping they get chosen to be on the team.
While wandering in Winter, you met moo moo.
Mouseketeer shook paws with moo moo the Vanilla Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Bench “Pass me the binoculars, Mouseketeer!” said Wawatay. "I think that's a Canada goose just taking off over there!"
Snowy Bench Hikers welcome a sight such as this during a long, snowy trek. Chances to sit for a bit to rest are far and few between on the trails. Benches in places like this are usually erected in memory of a loved one who enjoyed the outdoors or as an eagle scout project.
While wandering in Winter, you met Wawatay.
Mouseketeer shook paws with Wawatay the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Fox on the Prowl “Seeing these places makes me want to stay here and spend a week or two, Mouseketeer,” remarked Rosie. "It looks so different!" "Well, I guess that's the point of travel, isn't it?" said Mouseketeer. "To broaden your horizons and so on." Fox on the Prowl Foxes have a keen sense of hearing and can hear its prey scurrying underground even under the cover of snow. It is poised to pounce quickly and seize the opportunity for a tasty hard-to-find winter snack.
While wandering in Winter, you met Rosie.
Mouseketeer shook paws with Rosie the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Through the Frozen Wetlands “It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, shyla?” said Mouseketeer."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books." shyla shivered. “You must be fond of adventure books, Mouseketeer! I'd rather have four solid walls round me at night, actually!" Through the Frozen Wetlands The carefully constructed boardwalk allows hikers to safely traverse the wetlands while protecting its inhabitants. While they are hibernating at the moment, at the first sign of spring, the environs come alive with the chorus of spring peepers and other critters who call this land home.
While wandering in Winter, you met shyla.
Mouseketeer shook paws with shyla the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Squirrel in the Snow “What have you got in your tote bag, Flutterbye?” asked Tweety Pi. “It looks very full!” “I’ve come prepared for anything snowy, Tweety Pi,” responded Flutterbye. “There’s snowshoes, snow boots, Wellington boots, a pair of grippy things, ear muffs—you name it, I’ve got it!” Squirrel in the Snow I know I hid that corn cob somewhere around here but a recent snowfall has covered it up. Now I will have to check every lumpy spot in the snow to find it. Boy, will I be glad when I do! I'm hungry!
While wandering in Winter, you met Hearts.
Mouseketeer shook paws with Hearts the Strawberry Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Cabin in the Forest "Do you think we'll see penguins like we did on Snow Beach that time, glowy?" asked Mouseketeer. "Oh gosh, Mouseketeer, do you remember those sharks, and the octopus as well? Poor Fresco took one look and hid in the bottom of the boat!" responded glowy.
Snowy Cabin in the Forest The freshly plowed path beckons you to the cozy cabin tucked into the dense evergreen forest. Oh, I can already feel the warmth of the wood-burning stove and can't wait to kick off my boots and relax under a warm quilt with a cup of hot cocoa.
While wandering in Winter, you met glowy.
Mouseketeer shook paws with glowy the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Frosty-Nosed Welcome "Hey, Mouseketeer, how does a coniferous tree get ready for a date?" asked nellie. "Tell me?" said Mouseketeer. "It spruces itself up!" chortled nellie. Frosty-Nosed Welcome Welcome to my neck of the woods! I know you'll love it here as much as I do. You don't happen to have a carrot in your backpack, do you? I could use a little snack as I've been sniffing around trying to find something to munch on under the snow.
While wandering in Winter, you met nellie.
Mouseketeer shook paws with nellie the Graceful Elephant. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snow-Covered Fence Mouseketeer and frisky shook paws, then looked around in awe, wishing they hadn’t already eaten their lunch! This was the most perfect place to spread the waterproof blanket for a picnic!
Snow-Covered Fence The snow-covered fence marks the border of this sparse remote land. With one lone tree off in the distance and no hoof or paw prints in the freshly fallen snow, there doesn't appear to be much activity here. Perfect, just the way I like it!
While wandering in Winter, you met frisky.
Mouseketeer shook paws with frisky the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ European Crested Tit “Seeing these places makes me want to stay here and spend a week or two, Mouseketeer,” remarked Pandette. "It looks so different!"

European Crested Tit A common songbird found throughout the deciduous and coniferous forests in Central and Northern Europe, the crested tit does not migrate. It is very vocal with its nearly constant song of zee, zee, zee.

@ Misty Evergreen Forest "Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Mouseketeer," said Anwyn, "for this experience alone?" Mouseketeer, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed! Misty Evergreen Forest An unusually warm day has caused snow to melt on the hillside at the edge of the dense forest. A layer of mist hovers within the stately evergreens, shrouding any residents from our view.
While wandering in Winter, you met Anwyn.
Mouseketeer shook paws with Anwyn the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Owl Solo "How many needles grow on a pine tree, kitty?" said Mouseketeer. "Goodness, I don't know, Mouseketeer. How many?" "All of them!"

While wandering in Winter, you met kitty.
Mouseketeer shook paws with kitty the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Stillness "Do you think we'll see penguins like we did on Snow Beach that time, Roxas?" asked Mouseketeer. "Oh gosh, Mouseketeer, do you remember those sharks, and the octopus as well? Poor Fresco took one look and hid in the bottom of the boat!" responded Roxas.

@ Snowy Owl Duet “You know, this is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, Mouseketeer!” said Shadow. "It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said Mouseketeer. Snowy Owl Duet Look whoooo stopped by. The solo snowy owl's mate. Looks like we get a double treat of beautiful white feathers as this species of owl is commonly spotted in the daytime, unlike its brown cousins.
While wandering in Winter, you met Shadow.
Mouseketeer shook paws with Shadow the Black Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!
@ Winter Guardian Finley was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Mouseketeer unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Finley’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” urged Finley. “We’re about to pose beside this amazing scene—the picture will be entirely of your map if you don’t fold it up PDQ!” Winter Guardian A faithful guardian sits at the ready to protect his territory. No critter may pass into his wintry realm without first getting by his watchful eye.

@ Making Tracks "Do you think we'll see penguins like we did on Snow Beach that time, Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly)?" asked Mouseketeer. "Oh gosh, Mouseketeer, do you remember those sharks, and the octopus as well? Poor Fresco took one look and hid in the bottom of the boat!" responded Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly).
Making Tracks A lone skier and an unidentified hooman make tracks in the freshly-fallen snow. The nearby building provides a shelter for any adventuresome passersby that need it.

@ Creamy Soup and Whole Grain Bread blade and Mouseketeer were musing on the concept of hygge. “Is the reason there's no word for this in English because England is a cold, damp little island with an awful train service?" Mouseketeer considered this. "Well, they could still go indoors out of the rain and curl up in an armchair with a good book and stuff."
Creamy Soup and Whole Grain Bread Creamy broccoli cheddar soup and fresh-baked whole grain bread make for a perfect light meal.
While wandering in Winter, you met blade.
Mouseketeer shook paws with blade the Black Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!

On a spiritual level the butterfly is associated with the soul and rebirth. These delicate frosty butterflies with their wings rimmed in violet are a true delight.
