Bud is slowing down. He is just as happy napping as getting outside. We have a 3 year old Blue Heeler now, Louie, who is a constant annoyance to Buddy. Still loves Kong Ball, retreaver rolls, and chewing wood (including cinnamon sticks).

Very cold in Michigan this year. Once had to put a shirt on Buddy but he urinated in the inside and dragged an iceburg underneath him until we got back home.

His paws are not liking weather < -10'F. If it is any warmer he will bound about in the snow, especially in the AM when I can take him off of his leash. We walk at 315AM so there is no danger of running into anyone. Once he chased a deer that early but with this cold, little animals are milling around.

Didn't think I would enjoy a dog so much but like the fact that we go for walks. I get time to think about my day and things that I can change to make myself a better person.

Wish others knew this joy,
Dana
