On the up side, I haven't had to start the wood stove for 2 days. The cabin keeps a nice regular temperature of 20C, and that's if the blinds aren't open. I was able to shut my new baseboard heater OFF for the first time since it was installed on Jan. 1. On the down side, my wood is all wet. From RAIN. In January!!!
Jack looks miserable today doesn't he?
There is still snow though and it's supposed to get colder soon. So, this *could* be a blessing in disguise - the trails will harden and set nicely for snow hooks and those essential things for important things - like stopping crazy dogs.
As much as I'm whining about it (and I didn't even mention the three times I wiped out while walking, damned ice!), it was sure nice to be outside today!
Haha, this video is classic. It shows that my dogs should really pay more attention when I'm kicking empty pop bottles around for them (left-footed might I add)!
Pay close attention to the "Pepsi" bottle on the left of the screen, then watch Lucy take it to the head. I'm not even sure she noticed. Don't worry, she wasn't any more mentally damaged after the incident than normal.
Meanwhile, last night Esther, Pooh Bear and I went for a little evening skijor.
Esther had fun, look! She looks like she's enjoying herself!
Although she is still a little nervous with the whole skijoring thing and has to run up and be right next to me when we stop. This is her sitting on my skis.
She's semi-relaxed here.
Which is more than I can say for this nutjob!
OMG, it's playtime.... get me Esther! Agh! There she is!!! I must escape! *beelines down the trail till she comes to the end of the line then flips on her butt*
heh heh, I meant to do that... hey! who's over there?!?!
Rupert chilling in the pen.
Practicing my zoom on the indestructible camera that has already survived dropping on the plywood floor and me accidentally skiing over it when I dropped it on the trail.
Well heck! We might as well go out for a run today. The warmth and slushy conditions made for a pretty short, yet fun, run.
The maniacs wait patiently(ha!) in their cage.
What's wrong with this picture? No snow on the deck!!!! So I cleaned the remaining melting snow off. The dogs were so mellow they were just lounging on the porch all afternoon (while I *ahem* worked)... good times.

Why weren't you at the CHT?
I can only make that drive so many times/week. How was it??
Rain in Whitehorse in January, all while the rest of Canada is apparently under a "deep freeze" with winter temperatures.
thanks ..iam looking forward reading every day your dog report ..go on and thanks
nothing bors me about your dog life its great
Ha, I love Pooh Bear (!) and her wild crazy face! Loos like we got your sow and cold temps out here i Michigan. We have SO MUCH SNOW that I am actually slightly wishing for temporarily warmer temps to melt some of it. In order to get up to the sidewalk yesterday after crossing the street to my bus stop I had to belly flop onto a slightly-higher-than-waist-high snowbank and crawl my way up the rest of the way so I could reach the sidewalk. I hope you get your colder temperatures soon!
