Bundle up folks, we're going to take Benny for a walk through the snow-covered paths. This walkway near Frank's place never sees a plow through winter so snow, ice, slush and puddles are all over the place depending on the season and the weather. As of today, most of the white stuff is in the process of doing some serious melting but on this day, we had a fresh snowfall and in some places, it was about as deep as Benny is tall. Come join us and see for yourself.
Benny waits patiently on a well-worn part of the path. Sometimes, his black spot is the only thing visible when he's far ahead in the snow.
Are we not moving along quickly enough for you, bud?
Even though he knows we're not crossing the bridge, he tries to convince us that we're heading in that direction. At least he comes running back when I tell him we're not going that way.
Benny was rather restless for the last few minutes. He was having trouble finding a suitable place to do his thang. It looks like he knows where he wants to be...
Yup, here's the spot.
Can you give a guy a little privacy, please?
This was one time that I was not going to follow him out there to pick up after him. It was far enough off path that it wouldn't be a problem come the melt.
Back home again - Benny just doesn't get enough of snow play.
Well, aren't you going to throw snowballs for me?
At the end of the day, the sun came out and our beautiful Benny finally settled in for a relaxing afternoon and evening. But the next day...
I hope you enjoyed our walk with Benny. Thanks for joining us.

Pretty funny, I notice my dog following my trail after she gets tired.
OMG.....I was laughing sooooo hard when you got to the picture of poor Benny's head being all that was sticking out of the snow!!!! HILARIOUS!!! It looks like he is swimming!!! And the picture where he is asking if you aren't going to throw a snow ball!!! His little face is so frosty with snow!!! He is an adorable little guy, isn't he. I understand why you would love him!! I do, and I never met him! Thanks for taking us on the walk with you. I really did enjoy this post!
I really enjoyed this post.
All dogs seem to enjoy snow.
We got so many laughs of pleasure from Benny! Thanks so much.
Aloha
I thoroughly enjoyed the walk with Benny...that was so cute to see him plowing the snow!! WTG Benny!
Hugs

I really admire the crispness and clarity of your photos and wish I could get that with my camera. I will keep trying!
What a dear little guy Benny is and what fabulous snow. I love it. A great post.

ha. hey when you gotta go....smiles...love the look on his face in that first pic...lol..
Just love that doggy! Too funny him nearly buried to do his bidness.
I am always pleased to visit you and Benny. He's such an adorable dog, and he's such a character, it just shines through his funny face. Thanks for the Benny hit; it's made my day. :-)
benny is a STAR! i just love that little face! and when all that was visible was his little head... omg! :)
Great final photo. It seems like a lot of snow for down your way.
I loved this walk no end! We did not get the snow we normally do, so it was nice sharing yours by proxy...I have missed the walks in the snowy woods with the chappies...lovely job as usual...
hugs

Looks like someone had a really fun day!
I thoroughly enjoyed my walk with you and Benny. He looks like he had a great day in the snow. So adorable.
Benny is just the most active little dog. He never seems to get enough of any kind of play...especially if it deals with water in any form. The last photo is perfect. Of course, the "hurry-up" photo seems more true to life.
Great photos--I always love watching my dog run in the snow... when he was younger he'd dig his nose in the snow and kick it up and snap at the snow as it falls. The dog also loves to catch popcorn!
that photo of him sticking his head up out of the snow is too frikkin funny!! he's gotta be a canadian dog to be able to do his thang in that much snow!
Crazy little dog.
That was a fun pictoral story.
What a happy dog! Always a thrill to see Benny's adventures. I'd like to play in the snow like that, too. Unfortunately no real snow here this year, just a dusting one night. Maybe next year...
omg, omg hilary!
what a cutie!!
i just want to reach through the screen and give him a big hug!
adorable photos, too. thanks for sharing yet another walk with such beautiful scenery (and your pup) that makes me feel as if i'm there!
big hugs~
Ok seriously, his expressions are killing me! I absolutely adore the way he cocks his head and looks so quizzical. Love that cute boy!
What a sweet little chap that Benny is. Such an expressive face and I loved the one where he was relieving himself with just the head showing. How clever to get such privacy!

Nuts in May
he should be part of that group cold play
Walks with you are always pleasant as you put a good story with your walk. Some how or other dogs really like snow. They love to plow through snow and you showed Benny right up to his neck.
I had a gorgeous day with Benny, thanks Hilary.
He looks so cute! The last two photos are just perfect, and I love the little bridge too.
Roy would have NONE of that getting wet stuff.
Benny is adorable.
He's a special lad. :)
Oh, Benny in all that snow! ♥
Benny seems to have enjoyed thoroughly. What a great company you have.
That's a lot of snow!
You know how to do snow in Ontario! Here we seize up when the white stuff strikes. Dog walking is such a great pleasure and Benny had lots of fun
I love how he created his own privacy spot
he is so sweet and funny
thanks for all the photo, they make my day
I think there's an arctic fox beating in the heart of Benny he's fearless in the depths of that magical white stuff - definitely no snow bunny is he*!*
Loved seeing your captures in the previous post - the hunter and his starling and that scoop of ice cream roof - amazing.
Love the snow pix. Brrrr. Benny, Benny, Benny, you are such a little charmer and always so darned kissable!
I really like that new picture of you. Nice portrait. :)
And I must confess that Bennie is the best of the best when it comes to being photogenic. Thanks so much for this chance to run in the snow with him.
Benny is so cute..
Awwww, Hilary, he is just precious, and he looks like he is having such a wonderful time out in the snow.
Wishing you a happy day!
What a tough, single-minded little guy! Oh. Right. JRT. :-)
He look like what my dog loves to do in the snow - nice photos..He has a cute face..
Hugs
Dear Hilary, I am sitting here chuckling, my oh my, Benny always puts me in the best of moods. Just look at that face, it has its own expression, so funny.
I bet he enjoyes those walks.;)
Love the light in your images. We are expecting tons of snow next week, not sure how I feel about it. To be honest I am so ready for spring now;)
Have a great weekend dear friend,
xoxo
How cute! Beautiful photos and dog. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.
Hi Hilary, I loved taking the tour with you and Benny - the bright sun shine reflection og the snow, against the blue skies is very beuatiful! And poor Benny when he fell into the whole ... seeing only the top of his head!
Enjoy the good weather,
Nina
I believe Benny and our Molly have a lot in common. lol
Beautiful series! I can feel the love you have for dear Benny.
Normally I would not be too thrilled to see more snow...but with Benny in the mix, delight ensues.
Hilary, loved this walk with you two. Benny so loves the snow! Awesome photos of the little guy.
Benny just has personality oozing out of every pore.
Love the shot of him finding his "spot".
Your Benny posts are always a favourite of mine. He makes me laugh. :-)

Loved it all! Benny is sooooo adorable. Just don't tell Mr. Cheddar I said that. LOL
Happy Week Hilary.
Lots of fun photos of a GREAT dog!
The snow is certainly deep and fresh in these images. I liked the photo of the bridge and also the last one of Benny in the sunlight.
All are very good and certainly look very much like Canada! Today (Monday) we are getting snow again.
Benny is beautiful, to be sure! Great es.imag
could he possibly be cuter??? I don't think so!
Wow, Benny looks like he has a SUPER blast in the snow. I don't think I've ever seen a dog like that, what breed is he? Your photo's are really great!! Keep it up!! :)

Gosh Hilary. It really is winter there isn't it? My daughter, whose boyfriend is from Guelph, just spent 5 days with him on a frozen lake in Ontario. brrrrr.
