Part of the pack

Today, in the middle of the snowstorm, or blizzard or whatever people want to call it... I finally felt that I dared to let the collie run loose. So me, Abby and Kaiser went out in the snow and the wind and Played. And Played. And played some more....

It's an awesome feeling to be a part of the pack, as the packleader! The playbuddy, the one who upholds and makes the rules, the one that's trusted. It's awesome! And I wish everybody would have that feeling, at least for a day.

I've allways loved windy, stormy days. It makes me feel alive, and to have the opportunity to go out and play with the "pack" a day like this, with two incredibly happy dogs, and to be a part of their games. It's wonderfull! I'm not religious, but that feeling is very spiritual for me, wakes me up and makes my day.

No pictures tho, it's hard to take pictures when you run around and wrestle just as much as the dogs do! but it's great bondingtime - and I did get a HUGE victory today... Abby changes directions when whistled to in a certain way, she still doesn't come properly when called - but Kaiser do. And with both of them they teach eachother what to do when I do certain things. So Abby shows Kaiser when to turn around - and Kaiser shows Abby when "mommy" calls you come.

It's a blessing to have dogs in ones life.

..and someone once said:
The more I get to know the dog,
the lesser impressed with humans I become.

And I agree. I do love dogs. I love training, I love spending time with them. So much that I have serious problems with understanding how you can Live without dogs. Or atleast not get fascinated by them.. such lovely animals!

Have a good one! <3
