There are certain times when I wish we didn't have a dog. And then there are other times when I couldn't imagine life without Maddie.
On Sunday morning, I had every intention of going to church with Stephanie. But as I was laying in bed waiting for the shower, Maddie jumped up and started to get her snuggle on with me. I looked out the window and saw that the sky was perfectly blue, so I decided that Maddie and I would play hooky. I gathered up my new cross-country ski equipment and we were soon heading down the road to Mt. Hood.
It was an absolutely perfect day. There was plenty of snow, it was incredibly warm, my new gear worked great and Maddie had the time of her life.
By the time we made it back to the car, there were tons of people at the Sno-Park. Maddie said hello to all of the little kids with their sleds and as they were petting her, you could almost see them asking their parents with their eyes, "Can I get one?" Maddie spread her love around to everybody nearby (she's not picky) and soon we were loaded up and heading home.
Not 30 seconds after I started driving, I looked in the rearview mirror to see Maddie's head drop to the floor. She slept without stirring until we got home.

Most importantly, she did not roll in any poo.

Sweet. Your dog is cool. I hope you get really good at using those backcountry skis. Otherwise you'll have a hard time keeping up with me in my snowshoes.
Posting twice is cool!

Hey - I didn't have a dog-friend with me, but we might have been on the road at the same time. I left Timberline lodge on snowshoes in the moonlight to get up to Silcox for sunrise. It WAS a great day up there.
