Today is probably the last day we can walk on frozen wetlands meadows near our house. Coming days will bring rain and higher temperatures and then we'll have to wait weeks before everything here dries.

#Wetlands inspection. Water levels are fine, but it's too warm for this time of the year.

Bruno is avoiding puddles even when they're safe to walk on.

A midnight walk. #SpotTheDog. This won't be so easy when the battery finally fails.

Pietruszka – the Guardian of the Stairs. From this vantage point she can look out through two windows and yap about approaching catastrophies.

Apparently she found a very tasty patch of ice. I have no idea what died there.

Masza, the Ice Inspector.

A few more days of sub-zero temperatures and we can go skating. Right now the ice won't hold anything heavier than #IdąPsięta

This #SpotTheDog challenge should be easy.

This is a nice spot to sit and admire the huge #wetlands meadows, but not today. Not all of us have thick furs to protect us from the strong north-western wind. #IdąPsięta #Polesia

The ice still pretty thin – it would break under his weight and he'd get his drink, but he'd then get his feet wet, so he's waiting for me to help him. #IdąPsięta

Some more wet snow and this tree will crash and block our road. Hope the diesel in the chainsaw didn't freeze. The dogs, #IdąPsięta, don't give a damn – the supplies of their food will last for a few weeks.

#IdąPsięta walking on thin ice. Their survival depends on those long tails, which we use to drag them out of the bogs.

Visiting our neighbour. #IdąPsięta #Polesia

Drinking buddies.

#IdąPsięta going to seep. Good night.

A NATO E-3B Sentry is watching our dogs, #IdąPsięta, from the sky. Pietruszka, the #IdaPsięta operations specialist, is watching NATO from the ground. It took a while, but she got used to it and barks only once in a while. NATO doesn't bark back.

Just another walk through the #forest with #IdąPsięta
