A walk in the snow

Tango, the Patagonian Cavy, took his first walk in the snow today. The temperature reached 33 degrees today and everything was melting. It seemed like a good day to get back outside. Tango was excited to be back out in his familiar stomping grounds and wasn't daunted by the cold white stuff that covered the ground. He stuck to the well worn paths the dogs and us have made but eventually got eager enough to venture beyond the normal. He dove off the path and hopped through the undisturbed snow with me trodding  behind in over-sized boots. By the end of the walk, Tango was tuckered out but in high spirits and enjoyed a soothing belly brushing to get the snow out of his fur. He went right back to munching on his hay when he got back home, content and happy.
