Yesterday's weather deteriorated by late afternoon with high winds and rain. By 8:00 we were getting snow showers! Yes snow! There were reports of one to three inches possible. Well this is what we got this morning.

Not bad at all. But. It was Annie's first glimpse at snow on the ground. Trying to go out with her at 5:00 a.m. was very funny! As soon as I open the door she was ready to rock and roll! Until she saw all that white stuff! And she stopped in mid step. Not sure if that was something she could step on. It took her a lot of coaxing but she finally made it out. ☺️

Annie's first snow!


 
Lots of times when I take Annie for a walk I will hide on her if she's not paying attention. Mostly at the back of the property where there are a few trees that I can get behind and watch her reaction. I've got several videos but this one was really funny. I had already hidden on her behind one of the evergreen trees. But after she found me I decided to hide in the horses run-in shelter in the pasture. I was in there once before and when she found me she peeked her head around the corner right by me! It was so funny! So this time I was expecting her at the same corner when suddenly she came around the other way. She's really good at finding me!
 
@remy how much is he actually pulling and how far are you able to go? Are his "left," "right," and "whoa" cues already pretty strong or how much do you need to rely on verbal cues? That's so cool!

We’ve done a lot of biking with him trotting alongside me, but this was only his second time doing this (bikejoring). He knows “left” and “right” but it could use some fine tuning in this context lol. Thankfully this trail is mostly straight and he’s been walking it since he was young, so he knows where to go without any verbal input from me.

The faster he runs the more the bike is “powered” by him. I do pedal the majority of the time, but whenever I would coast for a few seconds it didn’t slow us down any. However, if he is doing more of a jog or a trot I’d say it’s a 50/50 effort. Basically the slower he runs the less he actively pulls and powers the bike.

The first time we went 1 mile and today we did 1.5 mile. He runs further when he trots and would go further if I let him, but I figured it’s best to build him up slowly since he goes pretty fast for most of the ride.
