[…] everything else right now, I’m running late. I missed the deadline for reporting on the Train Your Dog Challenge in time to be entered to win the $25 donation to my favorite animal charity. But despite the fact […]

LOL we got far too much snow to take the dogs sledding, they cannot possible run let alone walk in it. We’ve started a new fad, it’s called “Snow Swimming” because that is the only way your dog can get through it. Talk about tiring!

Thanks for the linky love Pamela! Happy Monday.

Last time I remember sledding was when we had our dog Shelby. She used to do her own sledding down the hill….on her side. It was fun to watch! That video was great….that little dog certainly got a lot of exercise! I won the Frosty Paws too….thanks so much for the contest! The dogs are excited…they will be watching the mail very closely. 🙂

I’d love to pull some humans around in the snow!

A little birdie on FB told me today that they might need some Newfies to come pull them out of the snow so that’s how I’m gonna tire my dogs out:)

Hope you all are safe and warm.

Pamela, a quick update on our training challenge progress…Giz and I took a long hike today and i worked on Wait from a distance…I have some pictures of him stopped and waiting a good 50′ in front of me…I was doing the happy dance…he’s really got it down…funny part is once i snapped a picture he could tell and that’s when he’d break…so maybe i need to rename the command “pose” …i think he’s turned into a camera hound…we saw a great video yesterday on “that dog dancing guy’s” blog about teaching your dog to weave between your legs…the video is great and it’s posted on Gizmo’s FB page…that will be our next training challenge

We actually have a slope at the back of our yard, and my kids love to sled down it– but when Our Best Friend goes out with them, he tries to eat the sled. And it’s not on his diet.

I’ve often thought, though, he wouldn’t mind pulling a sled– there’s definitely some Husky in there.

In reply to Gizmo (@GizmoGeodog).

I don’t ski. And my husband refuses to let me buy one more piece of recreation equipment. Our basement already looks like REI. 🙂

But every time we get snow I see a cross country skier or two on our street. Maybe I’ll lend them Honey for a good workout.

Honey and Layla helped me deliver your Frosty Paws to the post office. If the snow doesn’t interfere, you should see them early next week. I hope you enjoy them.

First, we were very pleased to see that we’d won some Frosty Paws in your drawing…Gizmo loves them and it’s always Frosty Paws season here…Congrats to Sugar…Her banana balancing trick is pretty awesome…that dog can balance anything! Afraid we can’t comment on the sledding question 😉 But back in Wisconsin with my two big dogs I did try skijoring with them and that was fun…you folks in the north might want to give it a try Hope you all stay safe and warm this weekend

In reply to Misaki. But who has time to be pulled on a sled when there is snow to roll around in? I hope you get more snow so your Daddy can redeem himself. :)
