Birthday Girl Trust

Now, doesn't this just look like a Tracking Champion?!! ha.ha. Trust turned twelve years old today.  We usually have a 'dog birthday party' complete with matching party hats and iced carrot muffins.

I decided Trust would much rather have some time with a chewie.  I let her have it for about 20 mins. so she didn't have time to eat it.

She didn't even seem to notice her birthday hat was on the whole time.
Happy Birthday Trust...you're so very special to us.

Might as well do a search with Kira!

I've thrown a ball out into the mainly clear area above and it is well buried down in the snow.  Kira did a lot of running circles in the area, concentrating more to the left of where the ball was.  Once she ruled out most places, she slowed down a little and found it quite readily.

When she located it, she had to shove her nose/face way down in and then dig it out.  It's in her mouth now.

So a few easy throws down a path and she was happy.  Although she probably would have liked to carry on...I was frozen and called it quits.  A little fun for her though.

Friday night/Saturday Snowstorms

Tank, Blast, Trust and I are about halfway down the driveway before the snowplow fellow shows up.  It continued to snow, but the temps. have been terrible along with the windchill......nearly -30.  Our walks were very limited due to the cold and getting through the snow.

Blast is perhaps looking fondly to the area that actually had grass a couple of days ago, after a major melt and rain.  Weather has just been so crazy, you never know what to plan for.  Feel sorry for the birds with the changes, it must be hard on them and other wildlife.

Trust is ready to go back in!  She turns twelve years old tomorrow!  Party time!!!
