Ever have a bad run that also isn’t bad? That was today

Road was WAY icier than it looked from the parking spot. I am sore from muscling the rig straight forward. But the dogs handled it really well. I don’t usually drop necklines before the roads close, but I wanted them to be able to freely skirt the bad patches

So of course the middle of the damn woods is apparently THE spot to be at sunrise on Christmas Eve Eve. I encountered more traffic today than I have the entire season so far combined. But the dogs handled that well too

Then Rune decided to run solidly into a down treebranch jutting into the road, shattering it and sending chunks flying. I do not know what he was thinking there, he’s really good at skirting obstacles. So his orange cape, of a variety you can no longer buy, has a giant new hole in it. But somehow, thankfully, it did not touch his skin. So really I’m just happy I’m not at urgent care waiting on sedation to pick splinters out of a pocketed puncture wound 😵‍💫

The sun rises on the shortest day of the year. For those of you that need to hear it, every day going forward will be a little bit brighter

The ice was singing today with all the changes in temperature and water levels

Doing flyball things while we wait out deer shotgun and icy trails

If my schedule would ever cooperate, I could debut this dog. Meanwhile Bronn is doing phenomenally, albeit in a lower level class still
