Before Winter is Gone

[waterdog101]

It starts with bright shining eyes, and a wagging tail. The constant tugging on a long leash. Wary foot steps on icy surfaces, frozen finger tips for leaving thje gloves in the car. The cold snow flakesfalling around your neck and ears. Quick stops at fence posts and trees, and always that nose to the ground, and then finally comes your reward, a steaming pile of doggie do, that you don't need to pick up. And salvation is there, a warm truck, a hot cup of coffee, and the feeling of a job well done.

thats a good one, I'm glad to see that you've put the cork back in the bottle, and your fingers are able to talk again. I've missed you almost, as bad as you've missed Geo.
