The Cracker Dog Returns
Shyla is my regular mountain biking partner so she gets the spotlight most of the time in this blog.
R normally runs with The Runner on the trails so I don't get so many photos of him, nor do I get to spend as much fun time with him.
But, he's an incredibly sweet dog who I love to spend time with.
This morning, after Shyla and I had ventured out into the snowy and very cold world, the Runner requested that I take R for some mountain biking because their run had been shorter than usual. Shyla was content to snooze while R and I were out because she'd already run off her energy.
It's rare that I get to take R mountain biking because R was born with elbow dysplasia. He had surgery for it as a youngster but the vets say that his elbow will inevitably get arthritis and will eventually need another surgery to "clean out" the joint space. That surgery may not be too far off because R seems to get sore more often now than a year ago. Because R is the Runner's best buddy, I try not to wear out his elbow on any extra running with me.
But, this morning, I was given a free ticket for running time with R! He started out as the serious big brother who we've all come to know recently.
But then, he cut loose and acted like the Cracker Dog who we knew for so many years!
Welcome back, Cracker Dog R! We love you.
