Sunday Ski

Well, well, well. This weather just plain SUCKS right now!! It's warm, often above zero, was RAINING last night, what the hell?? However, I'm not going to dwell on it, nope. I'll just be happily be in denial of the melting snow and this crap weather, and refuse to come out of the cabin till it looks like winter and I see white stuff falling from the sky again....

So let's take a moment to reflect and look back at last weeks ski excursion with Stephanie. Ah, the snow, look at the snow, the glorious snow!


Took along a few of my pooches for some free running and frolicking. Kuna is doing his best ostrich impression, and quite often buries his face in snow for no apparent reason.


Steph zooms downhill, and didn't even wipe out! Darn. That's why I had my camera out...


Someone's got a new digital camera.


Man, this skiing WITHOUT dogs thing is wayyy too hard.


So, we hooked the dogs up! It was a little too late though, as these guys had just free ran for a while and were a bit tired out. But I was determined to get Steph hooked on skijoring. As much as she fought me, thinking she was going to get dragged down the driveway, we finally got her attached to Gracie and George. She didn't believe me that it wasn't a big deal, these guys don't pull too hard... until she gave it a go. They bounced along at the slowest trot in the history of trots - a speed I could have walked beside. But, at least Steph didn't feel out of control, and she's game to try it again - so, a success!


I took them down the driveway first, but had to pose for her landlord before we left. In case you're wondering why Kuna is sitting so pretty and politely out in front, staring into the distance, no he's not a well behaved dog. He's just a pig. And Steph's landlord was right in front of him with a pocket full of cookies! He knew the cookies were there and the landlord was instantly his new best friend!!


Ahhh, good times. I remember those great snow days, of, oh... 4 days ago!!!
