Luna is still recovering from her unfortuante accident last November. She continues to lack stamina and may still have some pain in her lower back. However, she wants to have fun. She wants to run and play with other dogs, go to agility and be the happy girl she’s always been. We’ve only occasionally been out to Big Valley – the winter ski/bike/snowshoe/walk/dog trail between Winthrop and Mazama – this winter. Last winter she would outrun me even on my skate skis or she’d be out in the deep snow searching for voles or anything else that caught her attention.
Today was a sunny warm morning and the MVSTA grooming report said it would be done around ten. A perfect morning for spring skiing. Apparently I am not the only person who reads those reports! Numerous cars full of people and dogs showed up right behind us!
A Ruffed Grouse slowly crossed the road, one sloooooow step at a time
I think he is displaying to me. It is Valentine’s Day after all.
Luna is excited to be at Big Valley!
She starts off at a good clip
She’s always had an easy running gait
Who’s that down there?
Hi. My name’s Luna.
I’m Molly.
Don’t act silly; they are watching us.
Mike, the groomer, loves his job!
Come on, quit talking! Let’s go!
I don’t think you can catch him.
I love these aspens.
Starting to slow down after about 3k
But then, there’s the river!
I can will you to give me a cookie.
Remains of the fall
And winter’s ice
Getting real tired now
Trees. I can’t get enough of them.
There’s some of the dogs we met at the parking lot.
He doesn’t even know he’s different
Just another k to go. You can do it Luna!
