The Hachi Chronicle

We are having fun in the snow storm. We returned to Lab Valley for the first time since Hachi was so sick. His behavior toward Shyla has returned to normal after the blip of nasty behavior during his illness. Now, the two of them are playing in the snow like the good buddies that they are.

The storm started a lot later than expected. By Saturday afternoon, it finally arrived, at least 12 hours late. We'd had small snowfalls every night for a while so the world was already white. The pups played together in front of the old cabin on our land.

And they sprinted side-by-side in the driveway.


We awakened on Sunday morning to a lot of accumulated snow, and it was still snowing very hard.

The two pups went down to the creek together through snow that was over their heads. Coming back up the creek bank was a serious challenge.

It was great to see their exploring and playing partnership come back as if nothing had happened. I think that completely separating them while Hachi was sick was a good move. 

Life is good for Hachi and the rest of us.

  7. Snow bunnies! What a fun day, and how great that Hachi was back to normal behavior in that setting and with Shyla. Are you now snowbound at Lab Valley? (I can imagine worse fates...).

    1. We were snowbound on Sunday but then our fabulous plow driver came through. He cleared our half mile driveway super well. Unless we get big winds, we are good to go. -- Oh, and we left our vehicles up at the gate, a half mile from our house but that's okay. For future winters, we are working on a plan for easily getting to the vehicles even if the driveway isn't plowed. Maybe an ATV, a jeep with chains, or something like that. This place requires a lot of planning but it's worth it!

  8. Look at those snow buddies! Glad to hear things are mostly back to normal for Hachi. I know I'm not very gracious when I'm sick too. Looks like you received a LOT of snow (much like we did). Digging out is gonna be this week's first goal.
