It's BAAAAACK!!

ith
Say hello to Lake Whoa, Be Gone! I took this photo on my way out to the barn for yet another epic ride with Amy. We decided to ride to the DNR fields by way of the neighbor's driveway to minimize time on the road with four dogs. We found the trail over to the field only it crossed the creek. There was a bridge with lots of snow on it. Willow was game so I got off and led her across. The snow was deep on the other side but navigable. So there we were: me, Willow and all four dogs and Amy/Oz on the other side. Oscar tried to be brave but it just wasn't happening. So Amy took the long way around the field and I trotted parallel to the road and we met up on the other side.

After that it was a typical ride; one dog lost, one pheasant flushed, one dog rolled in stinky stuff, another eating something dead.

I went for a walk this morning too. Here's Muller Road at about 7 am. You can just see the moon setting in the distance.

so long for now..

Why not call it Whoopee Pond?
My dog has taken to foraging on our walks, too. She rummages through the tossed-out junk food and cigarette butts in the snow piles where hockey players put on their skates. Dogs: the original junk food junkies.

Amy and I were talking on the ride today about how there isn't any real imperical evidence on what the *proper* diet is for a dog. Raw food? No grain? Garbage??

I think a combination of raw fresh meat, dead stinky meat, and whatever they can steal out of the garbage is a decent diet...

Well - about time you came out of hibernation and started shooting pics again! Love the designer touch - an official name sign posted smack in the middle of the pond. Getting to your mounting block looks a bit interesting. You wear rubber riding boots this time of year?
Take some KITCHEN shots, darnit! I NEED to see the floor.
