Hilde is part polar bear!

Hilde really loves the cold. It is has been quite cold here the last few weeks. Some days the wind chill has been close to -40. Hilde can't really tell us when she is cold, so we have been careful to limit walks on really cold days. Yesterday it wasn't so cold, but the wind was whipping and the snow was falling. I decided to take Hilde for her first snow shoe. We went through the woods by our house and out onto the lake. On the lake the snow was up to Hilde's chest. It didn't bother her at all. She loved it! She was really good around my snow shoes and only stepped on them a few times. I tried to take a bunch of other pictures further down the trail and on the lake, but the camera has been cranky for weeks and I think it has given up the ghost. Maybe Santa will bring Hilde and I a new one for Christmas!
