Slipping on the ice can be a big problem for us clumsy bipeds, but cats and dogs look like they enjoy it. Gee, it’s been a long time since I’ve ice-skated! Or just run onto a sheet of ice to see how far I could slide. Just now, there isn’t any ice available around here.
You can learn a lot about seizing joy by watching animals.
Everyone seemed to be having quite a lot of fun and didn’t seem to notice that it was cold! Some were, I think, bit more suited for the cold: the Saint Bernard puppy, the Malamute puppy and the Maine Coon cat were all in their element 🙂
I wouldn’t have wanted to put my iguana on the ice, good sport though he was.
No, nor my Amazon parrot 🙂
From our earlier discussion of movies, I thought of another favorite that I’ll have to watch again soon since I haven’t seen it in quite some time: “The :Lion In Winter” with Kate Hepburn and Peter O’Toole (and a much younger Anthony Hopkins) 🙂
And a brand-new John Castle, too! One thing about him: he’s never the star, but everything he’s in is really good.
I guess ice is a lot more fun when you have four legs. Some of those cats seemed to be getting a lot of fun from their reflection in the ice.
I never thought of using a large trampoline as a miniature ice pond in the winter season.
Do you have a trampoline?
No, but my neighbor does. We have mild winters here in the Mid-South so not much chance of constructing an ice pond.
