Yesterday I went dog sledding. Not the kind with the huskies and a big sled and me yelling, "Mush!" I've never done that. No, this dog sledding involved a beagle, a plastic sled, and the hill in my back meadow. Yesterday was such a gorgeous day that I couldn't waste it so I grabbed Jelly, found an old plastic sled in the garage, and off we went. Poor Jelly! She wasn't quite sure what was going on when I plunked her down on the sled, sat down behind her, and quickly shoved off. But she's a brave girl and we flew down that hill, me laughing and screeching, "Lean, Jelly, lean!" and Jelly with her ears flapping in the wind and snow blowing up into her face! What a rush! When we reached the bottom and came to a stop, Jelly leaped out of the sled and proceeded to run thru the snow (bulldoze is more like it - about all you could see of her was her little brown head!) and she actually pulled the sled with me in it about 4' before we sunk to a stop. I was laughing and Jelly was "swimming" thru the snow, the sun was shining, and Split was whinnying to us as we sped down the hill. We were snow-covered and cold and it was just like being a kid again! Great fun!!!
In fact, I'd have to go so far as to say it was a perfect afternoon!
Later on, I introduced Lucy the minipin to Split and Jingle but that's a blog for another time!
Stay warm, everyone! And if you get the chance.......go sledding! Be a kid again!
