Hold On To Your Hat

Sledding is a great family bonding experience, like most mortal danger experiences.

Woofie

So, whaddya do when the world is glum? You admit that you agree with the kids and their many-year campaign -- we needed a dog. In twelve years, it's never been the "right time". At that rate I was going to be retired before we got a dog.

Woofie is a six month old, scary smart, athletic outside, lay-about inside, extremely gentle and very quiet (a little too quiet), (likely) border collie / lab mix. We got her from the Dumb Friends League after some lengthy interviews with people and dogs.  We were aiming for a slightly older dog, but she was definitely the right match for us.   Other dogs were too dominant, barked, seemed twitchy or didn't give off the right vibe.  We knew she was the one immediately.

I've seen some great changes in all of us. Funny that.
