Today was fill with downs and up's as I started it with a phone call from my mother telling me that our dog of 15 years had to be put to sleep today.He has been ill for a while with a tumor which was pushing on his spleen cause uncomfortableness and hardness of breathing. My mom is really good with animals and has been treating him by any means necessary for the last 3 years but the last couple months his body was just shutting down and last night could hardly breath.It's sad because he had been with us while all four of us kids were growing up and was with us for the good and the bad.He was a big fan of carrots so we are going to bury him in our little pet cemetery and plant some carrots for him to enjoy.
The "up" was that I met up with some good friends on a back road with snow falling and the only lights from Hardwood Ski and Bike were on which was a lot of light.Jacob, Liz and I decided to meet up for a hour warm up before the rest of the group arrived and just stomp around pushing over dead trees.Snowshoeing in the forest with no light is fantastic, very peaceful but also makes it hard to distinguish high spots and low spots so there were a couple falls had.We arrived back to the cars to meet with the "group" after making some animal noises to whom ever was there waiting.Turns out only Andrew got the memo about the snowshoe so Andrew, Liz, Jacob and I headed into the forest.We went up ravines then down them, then up, along side and then down them again, along the way Jacob was knocking any dead trees down for regrowth or so he said.A couple good bails by all including Jacob and I both loosing a snowshoe.All in all good time had by all and I leave you now with a quote from the office uk.
"If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain - do you know which philosopher said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits."
