I had both halves of the Duo for a short snowshoe hike on our cement-like snow this morning. It was still snowing when we started our hike.
The Duo is incredibly happy whenever they have off-leash time together outdoors. It's hard to contain their enthusiasm.
My best hope of keeping things calm is to do frequent recalls and some boring stuff like stays.
But most of all, they want to play with each other. This morning, I couldn't bear to try very hard to stop them. The reason for stopping them is the possibility of tweaking R's bad elbow. But, I made the same choice for him as I make for myself all the time, and I let him have some fun despite the worry of injury.
It's amazing the ferocious faces that the Duo makes while they play. They were having SO much fun!
They make me smile with their joyful and good-natured romping. A takedown....
And, in an instant, R was up again...
As the photos show, we had a wonderful time outdoors together this morning, despite the lousy snow conditions. I gave R a dose of anti-inflammatory when we arrived home, and he seems like he feels no worse than usual.
I'm so glad that I let him run and play with his sister. I'd want the same thing, if I were him!
What fun. MOM has made the same decision for me. I love being out there so much. She just can't take it away from me completely. It is clear that R and Shyla have a very special bond. One that makes MOM and me smile real big.

So glad the Duo had such fun! When the two here play, one would think they were killing each other with all the noise their mouths make:)
ReplyDelete3 feet or more of that wonderful stuff to play in, they are a super team together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful series! I met a therapy dog last week who is a CHOCOLATE LAB!! She's pretty young and totally reminded me of Shyla!! What a good girl!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you still have so much snow - yikes! Looks like it didn't stop the duo from having a ton of fun!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad they could do it, and that R doesn't seem to have been hurt by it. That's a hard decision.
