It was incredibly slippery. It was only 18 degrees, about 7 with windchill, and everything underfoot was ice or snow or both.

It looks like Beav's feet were slipping out from under him here. But with his crooked little bowed legs, it's hard to tell what's slippage and what's normal.

I'm glad I was able to get more head-on shots this time around. Believe me, I got plenty of buttshots, too!

Finally, we got under some trees where there wasn't ice.

It'd be nice if I could let him off leash to play, but he wouldn't stop until he collapsed!

It was a horrible, horrible day at work today. Incredibly busy, irate clients, phone ringing non-stop, and three euthanasias, all with clients we knew well and were very familiar with. It's so much easier when you're not emotionally involved, even though you know it's the only humane choice to make. We've all been-there, done-that, and know how heartbreaking the decision is for the owners.
So what better way to shake out my sorrows and frustrations than to almost kill myself running around the park on ice with a crazy little fluffy dog!
At one point, we had an audience. Some teenage kid who was walking through the park -- it's usually empty this time of year, especially when it's so frickin' cold -- stopped to watch us play.

I love all of these, but the third one absolutely rocks! Love the lean into the ball.
Love this set as usual!! I want to know, does he make all kinds of growly noises and barking noises as he hunts and attacks Mr Ball? He is just so active and fun to watch even if they are just stills! I can totally imagine him in real life!! WILD-EYED CRAZY AND #13 are too cute!
