Pearl was able to sit still for .2 seconds, just long enough for a quick snap of the shutter…barely. Energetic is an understatement for this dog.

I got up for a day at Big Sky Thursday…my Scott skis made a cameo. It was gray and dark, but the snow was soft and fun…good times with mom and dad!

Bozeman Creek X-Country

David and Nanuq…while flailing the entire way, I did manage to make it to mile three on my skate skis! I have some serious work to do when it comes to nordic skate skiing.

IMG_0933

Nanuq kept an eye out for me the whole way….when Dav was light years ahead of me, Nanuq would wait to see if I was coming. Now that’s a good dog!
