[nagdu] Working indoors during the harsh winter

No ideas for you, but I will be interested to see what others come up with. 
I left my job in November to do freelance.  Some weeks have been busy with 
meetings and teaching and whatnot, but then I can go a couple of weeks with 
practically nothing.  We don't have a mall here.  The biggest indoor retail 
store is probably Wal-Mart and that requires a driver to get to.

Also, does anyone else feel like you have to buy something when you go to a 
store by yourself?  I wouldn't at a mall because there are nonstore areas to 
walk in, but in any of the small local shops that I frequent, I feel like I 
should buy something because I am getting assistance to browse their store. 
Obviously I do not always purchase stuff, but the pressure is there.  am I 
alone?

Congratulations on your graduation Raven!

Hi!
Does anyone have ideas for places to work your dog during the harsh winter.
Currently, I work from home. I have graduated from college, so no more
hustle and bustle between classes, and needless to say, the winter
here in Michigan is a pain in the posterior. I don't wanna have to
work in ice, snow, wind, and frigid temps if I don't have to, but I
would also like to continue working the Golden Guy.
He gets plenty of exercise from play. Believe me, we have a giant
backyard, and he goes out there to play in the 2 feet of snow out
back, but I know how much he loves working, and it's good just to keep
that up anyway.
I went to the mall the other day to work him, and he does great. I
just wish I knew of an alternative. Malls are like mazes, and I find
them a bit stressful to navigate. I've been spoiled by online
shopping. Lol!
If they are the best option, I will bite the bullet and do it. I
understand this is more about my dog than me.
Any ideas?
