What do you do when it's just too icy on the sidewalk?

A surprising outcome to today's walk when I discover that it is just too icy on the sidewalks and darn, I seem to have twisted my foot again! Then, just when I'm thinking that I need to turn back and go home, I decide to make a detour onto the school playing fields. 




Lusi and I discover that you can find lots of new interesting things to do for half an hour on the playing fields.....you can check out the snowmen the kids have built, (all those interesting scent trails around them too,) and have a game of soccer and then a game of chase with an empty plastic bottle. 


After all these games you're a pretty happy Dal! In fact, so happy, that you walk home with almost impeccable manners...and did you ever amaze those motorists stopped at the crossing as you floated across the intersection at the traffic lights, all poise and glamour on the leash!


Of course, after the soccer play games, we did some hand target games to build on our engagement and loose leash walking skills.
