A fleeting glimpse of spring.  Yep, that’s what it’s been like recently.  Sunday was this ridiculously gorgeous 80F day–yes I was completely spoiled with that day and no, I was not expecting that type of day consistently yet–but a girl can hope right?  Well, Monday wasn’t half bad but it was almost half bad.  I woke up early so I could take advantage of the remainder of the warm weather from Sunday before the storms/rain rolled in in the afternoon.  I figure I had to get it in since Tuesday is supposed to be rainy and cold (relatively).
I decided there’s no better way to tire out my dogs than to have an off-leash adventure at the farm.  Now, I wasn’t convinced this would be enough, so I opted to bring along the bike to kick it up a little with some extended jogging/cantering.  Dex can’t be off-leash so I brought along our long line and we had quite a good time walking and biking all over the farm.  Even Shayne, who really hates the bike, enjoyed running along side the bike (so long as she’s not attached).  I came home and had three dogs relaxing for most of the rest of the evening–I was even able to get through 3/4’s of Excelerated Learning, one of the new books I just bought.
Given another half day in the sun walking/hiking/biking around, I’m struggling to pull together the post I was hoping to write, so, you’ll have to browse some photos from our day!

Well exercised dogs are happy dogs!  I couldn’t imagine not getting these dogs out for some strenuous work… I dont think I could survive that type of insanity!
