dogs recovering
This is the "girls" after a long walk in the snow - RECOVERING!
It has been cold (that is a huge understatement) in Minnesota this past week. We have had a few days where the high temperature was below zero ( I don't know how to translate that to Celsius, but it's COLD) and the windchills have been between -25 and -35. When the temperature did go above zero, it snowed 4 or 5 inches. For most of us humans, those are the days that we choose to stay in our houses, turn on the fireplace and drink hot cocoa all day. To Siberian Huskies, however, it means PLAYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I took 20 minutes to put on all the layers and took the girls to the park. As I am inclined to do, I thought of all the life lessons I was noticing during our time outside. I thought I'd share with you!
Clean up your own crap (sorry if that word offends you, but that really is what it is)
Don't be in such a hurry to get somewhere - just enjoy the walk
We are happiest when we are doing what we were born to do
It's cool to be curious, but sometimes you are going to stick your nose in some places that don't smell so good
It's much more fun to run and play with a friend
When you are feeling stir crazy, sometimes you just need to go outside and get some fresh air
If you gotta go, you gotta go
It's pretty natural to try and pull someone in the direction you want to go
If someone pulls hard enough, you're going to end up going their way
Some people just never seem to get tired
Not all strangers are people you want to let touch you
Some people you just have the urge to snarl at and bite
Don't confuse activity with actually getting something done or going somewhere
Home always feels better after you have been away for awhile
The silence of nature is refreshing
The best things in life require nothing more than you and someone you love
