March has been a month of snowstorms - as soon as the chinook wind strips off the previous snowfall, there's another one to take its place. Since the calendar says it's spring, time for some spring training - field training, that is!
 |
| Wet spring snow covers the dry fall grasses. |
 |
| The geese have been back for a while, waiting for the river & lakes to open up. |
Cedar's developed the bad habit of grabbing the bumper and running away with it, so we've been working hard on making it fun to bring back. Yesterday I didn't have my camera, and she did fantastic. Today Dave had his camera - and she was halfway between terrible and excellent.
 |
| I see the bumper - and I think Cedar does, too... |
 |
| POUNCE!! |
 |
| Shake it around for good measure (the whistle has been blown) |
 |
| I'm on my way... |
Well she didn't make it all the way. Something caught her attention (a goose, the smell of deer poo, a random blade of grass...) and she was off. With the bumper. Sigh.
 |
| I was trying, really - I'm concentrating so hard I caught my lip in my teeth.... |
 |
| Please can we play with bumpers again? |
 |
| Fine, I'll just hide over here until you make the right decision. |
Nope. The bumper was put back in my pack. She jumped on my back to get at it, almost pushing me over in the process. But instead we walked - and she ran.
 |
| Burning off the heebie jeebies. |
Tomorrow, Cedar, you'll do as well as you did yesterday. Right?
