This week seems like an excellent time to talk about some good places to take your dog when there is literally so much snow you can’t even.

When there are no sidewalks and the snow is waist deep, giving your dog a daily dose of exercise can be challenging. This might be well and good if your dog doesn’t particularly like cold weather, but Dallas thrives in these conditions. She loves the snow so much.

So on Monday, after our much-loved Easter guests had departed and the house was feeling a little too quiet, we headed for Sandy Lake Park in Bedford. Continue reading →
