Winter has definitely been here lately, making it difficult to get outdoors. Over the last few weeks we have had some cold weather with rain and even some snow. Today's high was only 42 degrees but the sun was shining so what better time to get outside and enjoy it. We found a nature trail in Ringgold and took the dogs with us for a walk along Chickamauga Creek.
We were not far from the car when Xander was already trying to walk Steve.
With the temperature Xander surprised us all when he jumped into the creek.

Jacob looked "thrilled" to be out with us...
...now we're talking!

He couldn't even stop the music long enough for a picture!
Mac and Tots
This is one moment that Mac actually had control of Tots. The two were all over the trail, getting caught on the other dogs' leashes because Tots was the one in control most of the time.

On the way home, Tots was taking it all in. He kept jumping from one window to the next, barking at cars and trying to "chase" them.
As he sat looking out the back window,
it was like he was remembering where we had already been.
