Don't rain on my parade

I love my knee high Bogs Boots!
 Mother Nature struck again this week with close to five inches of rain and more flooding in the Northeast.  We had just finished our cleanup from Hurricane Irene and no sooner was the yard clear, the skies opened up for the downpour.  It was disappointing to find out that the North Branch Park Cluster of shows this week, Big Apple Sporting, Tuxedo, Somerset Hills and Westchester, were cancelled due to flooding at the show site.  What is a girl and her dogs to do?  Go hiking!  So what if we get a little wet.  I donned my raincoat, waterproof baseball hat and Bogs boots and off we went...
 The dogs needed a good run to stretch their legs after being cooped up due to the bad weather.  We didn't see a soul and enjoyed having the woods to ourselves.

 The rain and mud didn't bother the dogs one bit and they looked like dappled Weims by the time we were done.

 Jam and Savi find something interesting in the wood post.

Savi, all wet from our hike but a happy camper.  The benefit of having a wash-and-wear breed!

Winter Wonderland Hike - Campgaw

Yippeee!  Trixie and Jam enjoyed a snow hike yesterday at Campgaw Mountain Reservation, a favorite county park.  The ski area there may have been busy, but we had the trail and closed road all to ourselves for a lovely, late afternoon run.  Jam preferred to stay home after her modeling assignment in the city.
 Trixie smells something and check out Savi backing her!
 While Trixie doesn't mind staying on the road, Savi find romping in the snow so much more fun.
 And what does Savi see...
 Must be a squirrel or some other critter in that log...
Trixie is helping to investigate...
 Time to move on...
 Trixie waiting patiently for Savi.
 Here we come!
