Once Lucy starts hitting the ground during a walk, it’s a sure sign that she’s winding down. Here she is at the Shirlington dog park that runs alongside the Four Mile Run creek in Arlington, Virginia, and is right across the road from the upscale Shirlington Village. The other side of the park is lined with old warehouses. I hope to write more about Shirlington at a later time, as there is some history there for me.

A frozen, snow-covered lake in a nearby neighborhood and one of Lucy’s favorite haunts.

Many thanks to W for passing along these great Lucy-in-the-snow photos, which he took in his time-outs from shoveling. His path for Lucy—the snow was too high for her to hop—is now her racetrack around the backyard. And how ’bout that snow bling? You go girl!

The recent rains have melted most of our big snow, but Lucy still managed to find herself a nice patch to strike a pose. Here she sings the praises of what, I’m not sure. Maybe she’s happy that we remembered to bring a tennis ball or that she’s managed to get through the holidays, so far, without ruining her figure. Boy, I envy that waist.
