Snowshoeing time

Happy Sunday everyone! We're almost half way through January, can you believe it! Our Barbados trip is just a little over 9 weeks away...not that we're counting 😁

All is good with the Duncans. We went to bed last night knowing we would wake up to a snow mess. It was snowing at the rate of 3 cm per hour then it turned into rain during the night. About 12 centimetres of wet snow got compacted into 5 cm or so. Needless to say it is very heavy and sticky... heart attack snow. The boys got to wear their slush suits for the first time. They didn't mind a bit and we didn't have to deal with snowballs. Russell used our electric shovel to clear the patio and our front walk...that shovel has been a godsend.  After I finish my blog, I will put my snowshoes on and tramp down the rest of the yard. A nice little workout for a Sunday morning.

This past week was good and very quiet. We had some nice walks with our boys and encountered a fox during one of them. He looked like he had mange, poor thing.

Merlot & Sherlock are doing well. We are fascinated at how each has such a different personality and yet they compliment each other so well. They both continue to enjoy their training activities. I have to say that what I learned from the Advent Calendar has been a breath of fresh air for me. Before Christmas, I felt like I was running out of ideas. Now, it feels like the ideas are endless LOL! Last week, I included some proprioception work, working the limb awareness and brain. It was fun.

We have a busy week coming up, with a few appointments here and there. I will also start sorting out our tax receipts. The email from our accountant yesterday reminded me that it's that time of year already.

That's my blog for today. Time to go snowshoeing! I include a few photos and videos that I took last week. Merlot is now obsessed with the turtle that our friend Gerda gave him last June. Check out the video of him tossing it like a football LOL! Have a great week everyone!

And the tussle is on, who will be the 
victor...a draw as usual with these two
besties.

Sherlock is very expressive, what
do you think he is thinking here?

Merlot and his buddy the turtle, he loves to 
toss and fling this little fellow.

Ready set, hut1, hut 2, hut 3, hike!

Some proprioception work for the boys!

The boys loved their 'slush suits' easy on, easy off

AND

no snow balls!
