running 2:00:00 [3]

Rattlesnake loop with DD11. Passed by today's MEC race runners - good turnout! Conditions are going to get ugly this week, so best to enjoy it while we can!

running 1:05:00 [4]

Yesterday's run repeated. I'm pretty sure Scout has now figured out that she's the coach - she likes to throw down the wind sprints when she thinks I'm slacking off. I already love this dog...

Today's bigger news however was that Contour was finally released from the hospital! This little guy caught a nasty GI bug on his way down from Northern Quebec, and has been under emergency care for the past three days. Tough little scrapper - he was found emaciated and freezing by a kindly teacher who took him in until he could be picked up for rescue, but clearly hasn't had time to build up any immunity. Still day-by-day for now, but it's so good to see him eating and wagging his tail again.

Our two new family members - Contour and Scout:

Browner and I are so thankful to the IFAW Northern Dogs Project and Jan Hannah for all her help over the past week - can't say enough good things about this program. Huge thanks as well to Bash and Bent for referring/recommending us to them, and for all the advice and encouragement along the way!

running 1:05:00 [4]

Introductory run with Scout at Rattlesnake. Not off-leash yet given that we're still getting to know her, haven't yet seen her reaction to squirrels, and know that she's in heat (spaying appointment still to come), but she's incredibly good with a leash so it may as well have not been on her. She is a thousand times the runner I am - there may have been some redlining on my part when she got on the scent of an animal track. This is going to be good! Just hope she doesn't get too bored - I swear I saw her yawning as we crested a fat hill at full sprint...
