@ Sled Dog in Training LILAC LIL and slider 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.

LILAC LIL shook paws with slider the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
@ Straight Ahead, Team! Lalique and LILAC LIL 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?" LILAC LIL considered this. "Well, they could still go indoors out of the rain and curl up in an armchair with a good book and stuff." 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.

LILAC LIL shook paws with Lalique the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Bench “Pass me the binoculars, LILAC LIL!” said Purple butterflyJay. "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.

@ Through the Frozen Wetlands Esmerelda was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as LILAC LIL unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Esmerelda’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” urged Esmerelda. “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!” 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.

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!

"You'll have a fine collection of mementos, LILAC LIL!" said Paws. Misty Evergreen Forest An unusually warm day has caused snow to melt on the hillside at the edge of the dense forest.
