Happy Birthday Other One!!
I was going to call my girlfriend at 3 am when my dog woke me up trying to crawl unnoticed onto the bed (nice try Tatonks, but you're 82.5 pounds). Lucky for her I fell back asleep. I thought it would be hillarious to call and sing happy birthday. And it's an hour later her time. And she's an early riser anyway. Guess I'll just have to hope the volcano stops blowing up so her birthday present flys south soon.

Doggin It
Smokey was gone for 10 days, which I found made me really boring. He's back now, so I am motivated to blog again because I can borrow his digital camera and share pictures!
I have been spending most of my 'free' time working my dog for avalanche rescue and helping other people train and test for avalanche rescue certification. I never seem to take pictures of training Tatonka, but I do take pictures of other people's dogs. Above is a dog I train with sometimes, at the end of her timed problem. She doesn't know the problem is over, she's still working. Good work ethic that girl has.
We are testing in a local favorite hiking/skiing area close to town. You need a 4WD vehicle to get there. Trust me, I drove Tucumcari up there and slid backwards a few feet from the parking lot. It wasn't pretty, but no one got hurt. We marked off an area and tracked up a slope on some varying terrain. I was here again a week or so after this to get buried in a snow cave and work Tatonka at the same caves. It was fun even though my radio battery died while I was buried.

Selling Ice to Eskimos
I have no complaints about my job this week. I usually complain about how boring the projects I work on are, but not this week. This week I helped us win a project to sell ice to Eskimos. No, I'm not kidding. This is an awesome brake in what has otherwise been a slow recovery time.
Bear has been the most active household member of late. She watched Smokey put together the wooden motorcycle she is posing next to. And by help I mean chase pieces he dropped on the floor.
And then there's the dogs. When they aren't at the dogpark this is what they like to do to make me feel guilty about not having a yard:
