We had Presidents' Day off, and Inara had daycare, so Alli and I took Persik and went up to Lubrecht to ski. We set out on the long 17km loop, classic skiiing. Persik did great for a few km, but after a while he dove into the woods to follow some scent and didn't reappear. We skied back and forth for a while looking for him, then eventually headed back to the car to refuel and plan a search. Once warmed up and refueled, I headed back up towards where we had lost him and, after about a km, here he comes, trotting happily down the ski trail towards me. Little stinker! The shock collar is in the mail.

Once we got him back, we headed out on a shorter loop, this time with the dog attached to me. It was pretty scary to lose him like that in a huge wilderness area and a big relief to get him back. The following day, we got a call back from the forest management, whom we had left a frantic message with after losing him. They said it was good that we found him, since the area of the woods where we lost Persik was home to a wintering wolf pack.
