MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's that time of year when we tend to act on our better traits--kindness, charity, love, sharing and our relationship with Deity to name a few.  The Christmas season is such a wonderful time because of the things that Providence has done for us.  Here at the Swetthaus we extend our warmest wishes.

It's also a great season for renewal.  Even though the bird hunting screeched to a halt, we're holding out hope for at least another day or two before the New Year Holiday.   New Year's Day gives us a benchmark to begin again.  So, rather than feeling down about January, we're upbeat.


Co-pilot
K-Lee and I are already plowing snow together.  She has a cute little habit:  When we are plowing and pushing snow into the banking, she leans into me and puts her head firmly on my shoulder/chest area.  She braces her feet on the seat and leans right into me.  I find that rather nice.

See that grassy area in the field?  It  isn't a landing strip.  It's a section we've plowed in order to have an area for exercise and training.-- and avoid having to constantly struggle through knee-deep snow.


Not a runway
We still work on fetch, come, sit, down, whoa, heel, walking at heel, hold and anything else that comes to mind--though at 16 degrees F, the sessions are shorter.   This morning before going outside, she fetched my socks which had fallen to the floor. Cool!  Now I have an excuse for being a 'slob'.  I'll just call it "training"!


Looking forward to what we can 'chronicle' in 2014, we send our best holiday wishes as we settle in for a long winter's nap!
