1/20/14 City Forest

Cold gray morning with 2 or 3 inches of snow to be shoveled from the drive. Not enough snow to even out the trails and subdue the ice so we went to the forest. We walked down to the beaver pond- frozen except for a tiny corner - open enough for Kelley to get a drink but not for her to get in.

We started down the West Trail and though a bit rough with ice hiding under the snow it was pretty.

Kelley was kind of lagging behind and not showing a lot of enthusiasm and then several times she laid down in the trail and I had to call her to catch up

I decided she was telling me she didn't want to hike, something she had not done before and we turned back. She then picked up the pace so I presumed I had guessed right. She had been anxious to be off when we left the house so I don't know what's going on. She seems fine otherwise. 1/2 hour
