Well, I'm back in MD. Getting here and seeing snow was actually, (gulp) kind of nice to see! The problem occurred that while removing snow from my 100+ foot driveway, I pulled the same thoracic muscle I have previously pulled. But this time, the pain put me on my back for a full day and some more.
I did get a little bit of playtime in the snow with Karma and Custer for which I'm doggie sitting. Custer is a happy dopey yellow lab that Karma knows very well. They are snow pouncing, snarling, playing buddies.
It is great having Karma! I rarely put her on a leash except in very crowded places and restaurants. We went to the airport today to recover a bag I left on the plane. Throughout the terminal, I did not have her on a leash for a moment. She is very attentive to both voice and hand commands. My personal favorites are first, when she starts to stride away from me, I make a short hissing sound and she looks to me and goes in whatever direction I point. Second, when we are in line at a grocery store she will sit upon the short hissing sound and a snap of my fingers. It's very cool to have a good connection and understanding of dogs...thank you Sally and Cesar Millan!
Sadly, I have no new photos at this moment of Custer and Karma together and cannot wait to take those two mountain biking when I've healed a bit more and the snow has melted and the trails are usable.
But I do have great news! My blood pressure is down significantly! I went to my family practicioner who checked me out today...lowest my BP has been in about 2 years! Woo hoo...and she smiled too. Yeah for bicycling and getting out of the rat race and sleeping in ditches and cuddling up with a hound or two - they are all good for the heart and soul!
Until I get some more photographs and head out on my new adventures, that are yet to be determined, but I'm certain they will be good ones, take care.
To my friends who contacted me asking if I was OK because I hadn't made a posting in over a week, thank you for your concern! I miss you all. To my children, I miss you, love you and forever will.
Dad/Tim/Baby bro.
