Winter Has Arrived

On Thursday night, winter decided to make an appearance.

Six fluffy inches fell leaving the trails with enough snow to run a sled on.

So that's what we did.

Cougar, howling in anticipation.

My good friend and photographer, Dawn, came along to photograph the dogs for me since It's kind of hard for me to do it myself while I'm running the dogs. haha

She also got to take a team for a spin.

Hook up came with lots of excitement.

And lots of noise.

Jacob, lining out like the pro he is.

Char, doing her bunny hop. Salsa evidently smelled something in the snow that needed further investigation..

The dogs (and myself) were extremely excited to finally be running on snow.

After all, that's what they were born to do.

Heading out on a 5 mile training run.

As you can see, Jazz was quite surprised to find my friend on the trail.

When we got back it was time for a drink.

And apparently a look at ones reflection.

Jacob, admiring himself in the reflection of his water.

On Monday we'll be back out to do it again. Then we'll only run once or twice more next week as we have a race planned for this coming weekend.

Finally the snow has returned, hopefully to stay.

We readily welcome you, winter. Stay as long as you like.
