Our walks in the snow

If snow is dry, it sticks to the coat of the newfoundland, curly coated retriever and nova scotia duck tolling retriever. In a short time dogs can get a lot of snow balls on their coat. The most problematic can be feet: snow can transform into ice, which makes every step the dog makes very painful. The solution is to cut the hair under the feet, cut the funny hair the tollers get after neutering, use oils on the feet or put winter dog shoes and not so warm clothes on - just to protect dogs from getting snow on the coat.

After sunny day, where the temperatures are above 0 °C, dry snow starts to change the structure, becomes heavy and wet (starts melting). This type of snow does not stick to the dogs' coat anymore, nor to the feet. The walks become longer and more fun for everybody.

On the photos only May is missing, because he usually goes for a walk without any other dogs, due to his age (he will be 13 in a day) and while other dogs are playing, running, accidents can happen. Also Kala does not understand that he is old and can not play with her as they did when he was younger (she jumps into him and wants him to chase her - he can chase her just few steps, but for her this is not enough). So Kala chose now Drobižek to be the chasing buddy (when there is no May around). Drobižek does not like being Kala's chasing buddy, runs after her angrily barking at her and telling her to back off, because he would like to play with Dylan, who does not want to play with loud Drobižek and just ignores him. Because Drobižek runs after Kala, he actually plays the way she wants too, so she does not stop even if Drobižek does not like to play with her in her way. He should start to learn how to ignore her, like Dylan ignores him (and everybody else - Drobižek plays with other dogs with barking at them; luckily these kind of dogs are rare). But to ignore somebody, well this is just not Drobižek, he has an opinion he likes to share with the whole world.

Kala also tried to make Heidi to play like she plays with May, and now with Drobižek, but Heidi got really mad twice (she barked at Kala really angry - who would not), so Kala leaves her now and bothers just the small Drobižek. However, Kala and Heidi do play together, just not in the wild Kala's style.
